Foo Foo & The Boy
H2C
NaimCD057

H2C is the debut release from this vivacious singing, song writing, guitar playing duo. Revel in the wry, witty lyrics sung with passion and knowing to tunes that will quickly have you singing along.

Lisa Fitzgerald and Jan Reay have put together an album of remarkable insights into life; full of situations to identify with. As each track moves along the melodies grab you, with neat harmonies that demonstrate Jan and Lisa’s innate musical ability. Listen out for inventive minimalist drumming that is The Boy’s trademark.

Also featuring fretless bass, H2C is an effervescent change with zero pretentiousness, influenced by reggae, swing and blues but with elements of Spanish, Irish and Latin, loads of character and infectious exuberance.

In the ‘must hear’ bracket, Foo Foo and The Boy have been likened to Michelle Shocked and Rickie Lee Jones, but they are truly unique.

Sweet as Hell
NaimCR02

Foo Foo is one of those rare and unique song writing partnerships; described as "the princesses of everything, better than chocolate" by Jackie Levin.

Sweet As Hell displays the lack of pretension which has become a trademark in their work, both live and recorded. The originality of their songs and harmonies is a welcome oasis in the dry desert of manufactured pop music; fresh melodies and harmonies perfect for a headlong dive into.

Sweet as Hell — Foo Foo’s second album — includes twelve slices of observations on life as seen through the eyes of Lisa Fitzgerald and Jan Reay. Songs of love, loss, fine wine, absent drummers, the Wild West and ice cream all bound together with the sound that is unmistakeably Foo Foo.

For those unfamiliar with the Foo Foo sound, the duo has been likened to Michelle Shocked, an acoustic Stereolab and Rickie Lee Jones. Their music is the result of combining blues, swing, ska, and folk jazz with invigorating and inspiring results. Foo Foo operates as a centrifugal force, discarding the peripheral and retaining only the best elements of these styles with the outcome that their music makes essential listening.

All songs on Sweet As Hell were written, played and sung by Lisa and Jan. Phil Ward provides fretless, fretted, electric upright bass and occasional percussion, and also recorded and co-produced the album.
