“Fold are back with yet another heavyweight single in their latest speech sample soaked tracks… This time it’s the words of US voting rights activist Fannie Lou Hamer that belts out over the top of the music mix and she sounds pretty good with Fold’s hair trigger guitar rhythm underpinning her.”
“Led by the sampled speech of American Civil Rights activist Fannie Lou Hamer, Fold’s Two Past Midnight utilises a wealth of funk-driven influences and sounds and choppy guitars to form a cool undercurrent for the bold vocal delivery of Hamer’s rallying calls.”
“Fold are becoming a firm favourite with a few of us here at Louder Than War, so we were excited to hear that they’re soon to release a new single ‘Two Past Midnight (A Tribute To Fannie Lou Hamer)’, the follow-up to last year’s sensational ‘Oil-Powered Machine / Detroit Red’. The single sees the band once again infuse beats with politics as they sample voting rights activist Fannie Lou Hamer’s famous 1969 speech in Berkeley California.”
