Fred Abbott is joined by a band of vocalists for his second post-Noah And The Whale “solo” album “Shining Under the Soot” to be released 7th July on Lojinx.
The single & video for lead track “What Kind Of Trouble”, featuring Steve Llewellyn on lead vocals is out now. The psychedelic headspin video was filmed in a single take using 360 cameras at London’s Karma Studios.
As first-out-of-the-gate with his 2015 solo album “Serious Poke”, following the split of NATW, Abbott let loose with the classic rock riffs and infectious hooks that, in hindsight, made his influence apparent on the later NATW material.

Fred Abbot and The Wild Unknown’s “Shining Under the Soot” album will be released on British indie label Lojinx on 7th July 2023.
