We’re excited to announce that Fred Abbott has joined the Lojinx family and that The Guardian have premiered his debut track Funny How Good It Feels today.

Fred is a London-based musician until now best known as lead guitarist and keyboard player in the recently disbanded Noah And The Whale (NME|BBC|Independent).

Fred’s debut solo album “Serious Poke”, will be released on Lojinx in July. He enlisted the help of his Noah And The Whale compadres and other friends for the recording of the album, with sessions taking place at West London’s British Grove Studios over the past year. The album was co-produced by Fred with Martin Hollis, whose diverse credits include Grinderman, The Rolling Stones and Take That.
