"Is it really worth giving up the dream of the open sea just to win a swimming race designed by others in an artificial aquarium?
This question was the starting point for Freek: a crazy journey through mental and dreamlike cages, a dive into the thought world of a character born as a dreamer and long trapped in the role of a fool. But life goes on and surprises us time and again... and maybe the freak is one of you.
Freek is an autobiographical concept album that reflects, with surreal narrative art, on a static, decadent society in a modest but honest way. A society obsessed with self-aggrandizement and exhibitionist rhetoric, incapable of taking cultural or political risks, demanding everything from others while asking far too much of itself, transforming the dream of a better world into a tailored comfort zone.
Recorded and produced in the DIY spirit, Freek marks a return to the Patchanka roots of Gran Galà, driven by the Californian punk energy of Videogame.
This is just the beginning of a journey that goes beyond music. Many surprises await you, and we sincerely hope that you will be part of this new adventure."
