When Dan Hanson is not co-fronting Chicago soul band Fat Night, he finds himself in the studio. As a result of his constant tinkering and experimentation, we bring you Fast Preacher’s second single of the year, “Figure It Out,” which also serves as an announcement that Fast Preacher will be releasing an EP later this year of the same name.
The band’s new full-length record, Holy Roller, reveals a more relaxed and reflective side. They’re still channeling the Stones, but this time around it’s much more like the country blues of the band’s late-60s era. While they stay true to their rebellious rock roots, they’ve tempered with a tinge of wistfulness — as if their living room guitars drank too much wine.
