Summary

Today’s Top Tune: Haute & Freddy ‘Dance The Pain Away’

Maximalist pop duo Haute & Freddy recently took over KCRW’s Annenberg Studios for a rousing session. Their debut album Big Disgrace transforms retro pop into something bold, modern, and unapologetically unrestrained as we hear on “Dance The Pain Away.” After years working behind the scenes as songwriters, the duo steps into the spotlight with a creatively liberated project; a glittering, theatrical celebration of their most eccentric, over-the-top selves.
