01 Lights Over London

Second Best

Black Water - Angus Powell

This track was written on the cusp of autumn, reflecting on how the changing in seasons can have such a visceral internal effect on us. I find that every year, the shift between seasons has a huge impact on my mood and outlook, and was in awe of how powerful nature is to move us so much. 'Evergreen' is an acknowledgement of how we have to embrace this, and that - no matter how hard we try - humans are no match for the forces of nature.

Evergreen

Glue is a lively and energetic song that's sure to get your toes tapping, but beyond the catchy beat and upbeat tempo lies a deep exploration of vulnerability, connection, and the power of interpretation.

Overall, the lyrics of Glue are poignant and evocative, capturing the feeling of finding safety and comfort in someone else's care.

"Grog" LP Out Nov 17th: bit.ly/FrogGrogInfoPage

Brothers Danny & Steve Bateman return with their fifth album “Grog.” This collection of gorgeous Indie Americana is full of the nostalgia, hope, defeat and lust that earned previous singles “Judy Garland” and “You Know I’m Down” several million streams on Spotify.

Eclectic and wildly creative, this fully realized LP veers from the gorgeous grooving funk of “Black on Black on Black” to the classic pop of “Maybelline” before “New Ro” exemplifies the “gothic and cartoonish” characteristics that songwriter Daniel Bateman describes his latest work with.

Artist Quote:

“There are really exciting places we were able to get to on this record, places that I didn’t know existed before I found them. It feels both gothic and cartoonish to me, big gargoyles, dark skies, storms, but the statues are of ‘Aaahh!!! Real Monsters.’ Every song is a step deeper into the abyss.” - Daniel Bateman (Frog)

Previous Support: NPR / BBC Radio 1 / BBC 6 Music / TLOBF / CLASH / Gold Flake Paint / London In Stereo / DIY Mag / Various Small Flames / IMPOSE / Cereal & Sounds / For the Rabbits

Spotify Stats: 9.5 million streams / 78k monthly listeners (Oct 16th 2023)

Press Quotes:

“I was taken aback by its apparent simplicity; a simplicity that at first masked a wealth of subtle nuances, wry homages, and nostalgic narratives that were enough to make listeners lament growing up anywhere other than suburban America.” – The Line of Best Fit

“Locked between the unstoppable force of self-deprecation and the immovable object of the American Dream.” – Various Small Flames

“A subtle, stunning triumph.” – For the Rabbits

“Utterly brilliant...they make you nostalgic for memories you never had and take you back to places you’ve never before been.” - London in Stereo

"Grog" is out November 17th via Audio Antihero & Tapewormies: linktr.ee/heyitsfrog
