Chequered Thoughts
Funkommunity's Isaac Aesili and Rachel Fraser are no strangers to the NZ Music Scene. Having
played, toured and collaborated with some of the country's top artists, the prolific pair now join
forces to create their debut album Chequered Thoughts.
A forward-thinking album of future soul music, Funkommunity's smooth stylings create a sunny-side
up album perfect for the ensuing summer.
An accomplished vocalist and songwriter, Rachel Fraser's voice is reminiscent of old school jazz,
soul and funk styles infused with contemporary R&B. A lady of many credentials, Rachel first gained
international attention with Recloose track, 'Catch a Leaf', and has since been busy performing with
bands such as Sola Rosa and Recloose Live.
Isaac also brings a wealth of experience to the band. Over the past decade, Isaac has been an
integral part of many Kiwi acts Solaa, Opensouls, Recloose Live and EruDangerspiel plus has
toured as a guest musician with iconic New Zealand bands Trinity Roots and Shapeshifter. He's
also co-written songs with Aaradhna, Ladi6, Hollie Smith, Mara TK and Julien Dyne, and his session
work includes recording for House of Shem, Homebrew, Anika Moa, Mt Eden and Crowded House. TRACKLISTING:
