Half Drunk Under a Full Moon is the sixth studio album by Scottish rock band the Fratellis. The album was released on 2 April 2021, having been delayed by a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1]

Background

In contrast to the more rock-oriented music of previous albums, Half Drunk Under a Full Moon features a baroque pop sound with considerable use of brass and strings. Guitarist and vocalist Jon Fratelli had previously sought this approach on their debut album's most successful single, "Chelsea Dagger": "I wasn't mad keen on going down the road of the chant vocals. I really wanted to have a New Orleans big band playing. But Tony Hoffer, our producer, had us doing multiple vocal takes from all around the studio."[2]

In addition to the album's delay, the COVID-19 pandemic caused multiple cancellations of the supporting tour.[3] This prompted the band to organise a series of small-scale shows at independent record stores, with all proceeds going to the stores themselves and to the band's crew.[4] On 2 April 2021, the band released a non-album cover of Baccara's 1977 single "Yes Sir, I Can Boogie" and donated all proceeds to the Tartan Army Children's Charity, Soccer Aid and the Eilidh Brown Memorial Fund.[5] This was one of two covers released in conjunction with the album, the other being a studio recording of Dion's 1961 single "Runaround Sue" with which the band had been closing concerts for several years.
