Why are there actually no playgrounds for adults? Tom Van Laere asks himself. A place where you let go of everything for a moment and just have fun. In his universe, that playground is called Admiral Freebee: he makes music there and plays it with his friends and musical heroes. From that free, playful energy arose ‘Raw Fun’, a record that bubbles with life force. In the theaters, that material now takes on a completely different form: more intense, more compelling, closer to the core. The song ‘Dog That Never Dies’, one of the quietest moments on the record, seems like a foretaste of what is emerging in the halls. In a sober setting, it unfolds as an emotional core: a look back, but also a hint of what remains.
Admiral Freebee takes you to a place where the music is allowed to breathe. Where you sit, listen, and the songs of ‘Raw Fun’ let themselves be felt differently. More intimate and closer.
