Menagerie- Free Thing

 
Australian 9-piece Spiritual Jazz group Menagerie announce their highly anticipated third album "Many Worlds" to be released January 15th 2021on esteemed U.K label Freestyle RecordsMenagerie is the Melbourne-based jazz ensemble founded by producer, songwriter, guitarist, DJ and recording artist Lance Ferguson, also the driving force behind The BamboosLanu, Rare Groove Spectrum and Machines Always WinMenagerie‘s debut album "They Shall Inherit" saw the light of day in 2012 via label Tru Thoughts and 2018 saw the release of "The Arrow Of Time" on Freestyle.
Two years on from their last full length album, Menagerie are back with "Free Thing", the first single from their upcoming album that sees the band leaning heavily into the spiritual side of their sound. The hypnotic spoken word-poem is evocative of The Last Poets, an earthy yet futuristic meditation on the universal theme of freedom itself, set to a backdrop of insistent percussion, double bass and brooding piano voicings.
