It’s here! It’s finally here — The fourth studio album by famed Newfoundland trio The Once is now in stock at Fred’s Records.
Released May 11, 2018, “Time Enough” has already become a fan favourite in the record store, and beyond, as music enthusiasts jump at the opportunity to take home one of the hottest local releases of the year.

Local singer/songwriter Amelia Curran, a friend of The Once and Fred’s Records, described the album as having “perfect vocal harmonies, thick enough to stand on.”

Fans of The Once were quick to share their love of “Time Enough” online. Check out some of these glowing reviews and compliments from The Once fans:

– “When I first heard “Departures” I thought it would be impossible to top it. I was wrong. Loving this album so very much.”
– “Omg I love you guys! This is just all kinds of perfect!”
– “The chemistry you three have shines through. Great work everyone.”

Fred’s own Tony Ploughman writes:

“The evolution of The Once continues with the release of “Time Enough.” The band’s progression is evident throughout and mindful and sensitive to the qualities that have established their sound over the past 8 plus years.
Both contemporary and rootsy, The Once achieve a spendid balance rich in vocal harmony and astute arrangements; the bookends of their artistry and consistent mark on their calling card.
Fred’s joyfully presents this new offering which excels in all its aspired intentions.”

At the time of writing, The Once are currently on tour in the United Kingdom. UK fans were highly attentive to The Once’s social media pages, tagging friends to their tour schedule, adding comments like, “You HAVE to go see this band!”

The Once is well known in Europe and beyond, especially after touring with and working closely with English musician Passenger. The Once recently collaborated with Passenger on his latest release, by providing backup vocals on the track “Hell or High Water,” the title track of his most recent album.

While the UK is lucky to get the first touring taste of “Time Enough,” Canadians will be treated to a lengthy tour this coming fall, starting in Newfoundland and working their way across the country, playing Manitoba, Ontario, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and of course, a five-date tour of their home province of Newfoundland.

Fred’s is proud and honoured to carry this amazing band’s amazing discography. Swing by for a listen anytime!

It’s been a busy week in new releases here at Fred’s! Fresh in, fresher than the first snow, Spirit of Newfoundland leading lady released her debut “O Holy Night.” A Christmas Gem.
Also new and out now, David Picco “Start Again”, featuring local heavies Brad Power, Chris Donelly, and brother Chris Picco. A retro sounding singer-songwriter 10 song CD – think classic 70s and 80s rock – catchy and tight.
And, of course, the new CD from Lady Brett Ashley “Fault Lines”, which they launched in grand style with a killer in-store performance (you can see
the video in our feed below). Evocative keyboards, sumptuous bass, atmospheric percussion and vocals that pull you in, let you go, as haunting and compelling as a St. John’s autumn gust.

These releases – like all our local releases – are available in-store and online (http://bit.ly/1LiFuOY)
