Praise for the "Kind of Blah" LP: 
"A safer bet there’s never been – this record is essential." - GoldFlakePaint 

"A bit of a masterpiece." - 7BitArcade 

"Imagine the euphoric pop of Small Wonder getting caught in a time warp to the wild west with Modest Mouse’s ‘Satin in a Coffin’ and you just about scratch the surface." - DIY Mag 

"Oh, god. Help me, words. Help me convey what a blessing Frog is." - Collapse Board 

"A record whose sheer flood of ideas couldn't be denied...Irreverent, strange and just a little addictive." - CLASH 

"Utterly brilliant...they make you nostaglic for memories you never had and take you back to places you’ve never before been." - London In Stereo 

"A solid reason for Frog to be your new favourite band - 8/10." - Shout4Music 

"A perfectly melancholy subway ride..." - IMPOSE 

"A splendid piece of work." - Gideon Coe (BBC 6 Music) 

"Dreamy Americana soundscapes...Despite sounding ever-so-slightly menacing at points, it's deliciously sweet for the most part." - The Line of Best Fit 

"Makes me grin so hard I think my face may actually split into two separate parts." - The 405 

"Making you pine for romances you’ve never had...Perhaps the one unifying factor of the record is the degree of humanity upheld by each track present, the emotions and the experiences almost all universal - 4/5." - ARTROCKER 

"Anyone who doesn’t get that enjoyment from it really is past saving" - Louder Than War 

"Have you spent any of your time listening to Frog? No? Then prepare yourself for something quite special, something you’ll rush to share with your friends, hoping to be the coolest kid on the block..." - Austin Town Hall 

"A frenzy of fast guitar licks and off-kilter vocals, but it all comes together to form an impressive force." - MAGNET Magazine 

"Anyone who's heard even the tiniest excerpt from Kind of Blah will attest that, however they came to it, they've found a spark of magic from somewhere." - Crackle Feedback 

"Frog are the most wonderful weirdos, and we should hold them close to our hearts forever." - Don't Need No Melody 

"Peek through a smeared window at an innocent and imaginary New York...the entire set feels like it exists outside of time...feels like a constant, noisy dawn..." - Clicky Clicky Music Blog 

"Recorded under a derelict bowling alley, the album really does suck you into the New York that Frog know…‘I’m an adventurer’ is a line from the album and it’s a hell of a journey to join Frog on. An album that will have you an emotional mess at one moment and hopping for joy at the next…" - Spectral Nights 

"Kind of Blah is America." - Wake the Deaf 

"An LP you'll want to faun over and adore even when it confuses the hell out of you. The best artists never bare all on arrival and this is no different. Give it spin. And then another - until it makes sense - 8/10." - The Digital Fix 

"Albums like this don't come around that often." - Independent Clauses 

"It’s been a long, long time since a lo-fi recording has hit me as powerfully as frog’s 'Kind of Blah'...It’s tough to even begin speaking about this album because it subtly steals the words out of my mouth by taking my breath completely away." - Sly Vinyl 

"Love this." - Huw Stephens (BBC Radio 1) 

"Kind of Blah is an album that speaks to many, and it will speak to you if you give it a chance. There's a honesty and humanity at its core and Frog pull shimmers of beauty through music that is sad, painful and desperately catchy." - Scene Point Blank 

"Here, frog has crafted something truly different, uniquely flawed, and indisputably special. And that’s kind of awesome - 4/5." - Sputnik

"We reimagined “Neckline” to be closer to true pop. Touring off this album, we often covered “Pink Pony Club” and we wanted the harmonies, the strings, the synth to reach towards that Chappell Roan grandiosity. Plus, both songs (Pink Pony and Neckline) are the same chords over and over through the entire song, so I was excited to build dynamics even within that." – Sara Mae

Salt Lake City-based Indie Singer-Songwriter Josaleigh Pollett will return on October 28th with “Radio Player,” an electronics-infused and Poltergeist-inspired new single. Here, Josaleigh is reunited with long-time collaborator Jordan Watko (Crowd Shy) for the first time since Jordan’s relocation to Japan, making this their first recorded output since 2023’s highly acclaimed “In the Garden, By the Weeds,” which NPR Music’s Bob Boilen featured on All Songs Considered.

Despite the distance between them, the pair opted to make their first cross-continent collaboration more ambitious and exploratory than what came before. Initially finding acclaim in 2020 with their ‘No Woman Is the Sea’ album, before going on to share bills with St. Vincent, Torres, Deep Sea Diver, DeVotchKa, Mini Trees, Hibou, and Kilby Block Party, “Radio Player” sees their sound continue to evolve. This new slowburning single merges analogue atmospherics, Indie Rock drive, and Pop melodies to create something that feels haunting, claustrophobic, and cathartic.

Speaking on their return, Josaleigh comments:

"Radio Player is a song about memory and fear, loosely based on seeing the movie Poltergeist at too young an age. It is a journey through the hallways of childhood that we leave a light on within. A pink light flickers on and beckons the listener through, releasing them changed and covered in ectoplasm five minutes later.

In true independent DIY fashion and similar to 2023's In The Garden, By The Weeds, this new song is recorded mostly at home between my Salt Lake City make-shift home studio, and Jordan's apartment in Japan. The difference this time is that we're bringing in more collaborations and new instrumentation. In addition to mixing and mastering, Nashville's Andrew Goldring helped with production and played some instruments on Radio Player, as well as being a part of the live band that played Kilby Block Party earlier this year. Radio Player really got its feet under it in a live band setting, and we tried to bring more of that to our production without losing the electronic-based production that Jordan is so fluent in. 

This is the first song we made together since Jordan moved to Japan in 2024, and instead of letting distance dampen our collaboration, we really tried to lean into the chaos and confusion of creating from different ends of different days while an ocean apart. I think a lot of that anxiety and newness mixed with the dedication of friendship drives this new music.”

Lyrics:
"You were born with thicker skin 
And I am only oxygen 
Whispering, darling please don’t stay 
Because you can leave but I won’t wait 

When I’m cold 
And I’m lonely 
Hold me in your arms 
We’ll grow old 
We will only 
Be inches apart 

I have built my cell by hand 
I was dreaming of the southern sand 
And while every night you visit me 
Darling you are friends with misery 

When I’m cold 
And I’m lonely 
Hold me in your arms 
We’ll grow old 
We will only 
Be inches apart 

When I’m cold 
And I’m lonely 
Hold me in your arms 
We’ll grow old 
We will only 
Be inches apart 

Oceans won’t take you 
Oceans won’t take you 
Oceans won’t take you 
Oceans won’t take you"

This free / pay-what-you-want single accompanies a small Magana solo tour of New York, Boston and California. 

Previously unreleased up to now, live favourite ‘Pages’ is an early experiment in Magana’s ever shifting solo sound. It’s a gorgeous standalone document of her evolving creativity and expression. The song shows a more traditionally Indie Rock side to Magana's dreamy Alt. Pop output. It's heartfelt and emotional rock music with ghosts whispering through the walls.

January 11th - Sofar Sounds, NY

Praise for "Golden Tongue" EP (Oct 2016):
"Beautiful debut...a story of love and sacrifice...Delivers the haunted resilience of someone who has found self-acceptance." - London in Stereo 

“Recalling Torres and Sharon Van Etten at their most intimate moments...Magana’s parched vocal is a complete heartbreaker.” - The Line of Best Fit 

"With what is just the briefest of snapshot Magana has invited us into her world and in the process created something which feels expansive and breathlessly travelled." - GoldFlakePaint 

"Glorious." - Podcart 

"Dream folk perfection." - The Deli NYC 

"Golden Tongue shows us someone who has spent years singing from other people’s hymn sheets finding her own voice, and it’s the voice of a confident artist who is capable of expressing both great frustration and great tenderness in a very compelling way. One minute, she sounds introverted and retiring; the next, she’s lashing out angrily at those who would talk over her." - God Is In The TV

“There's something beautiful in finding what you want and demanding it, and Magana perfectly captures that.” - The Grey Estates 

“Magana enters the scene guns blazing with the simple request to be the real deal or no deal at all.” - IMPOSE 

"Magana’s voice is a lively rasp that emotes a jaded sense of heartbreak spurred by a lover who talks but does not listen." - The Le Sigh 

“Through music I have learned the shape of desire – contoured and faceted, with the texture of velvet and the sheen of spilt oil on the blacktop. In Magana I feel it again.” - Collapse Board 

"Golden Tongue has enough range of emotion and musical variety to engage the attention from start to finish, and it feels like a journey in a way that many full albums fail to...It sounds like the birth of a new star." - Musos' Guide 

"A whisper in your ear, bedroom acoustics performer who has broken out from the background of being a session musician to taking centre stage." - Bearded Magazine 

"When I hear a song like this, I start believing there is a primal source of strength that music, but only some music, manages to channel into the outer world. Magana does that." - Beautiful Freaks 

"I could see her (right now) opening up for St. Vincent on her next tour. Yes that should happen. It feels right to me. After that I want to hear Magana's full length." - American Pancake 

"Fragile and delicate, playing like a morning after some traumatic event, smells and sounds and phantom feelings wisping their way into the present, leaving the narrator to grasp whatever negligible weight they still hold." - Wake the Deaf

Wildfire Lyrics:
“Every flame wants to be a wildfire
every day needs to lead to something says my mind
looking back to when it all was better
hard to see photos of my smiles
i know if i want to live
something’s got to give

every night goes on as I’m mindless in it
every light’s racing towards the ends of everything
hard to hold photos of the one’s who left us
every orgasm makes you wonder oh, “is this it?”
this is it.”

Previous Press:

"A piece of work that could stand the test of time...The solitude is palpable." - Gold Flake Paint 

"It’s a reminder that some of the most powerful emotions can bloom from the simplest of raw moments, and Shaw is an expert at crafting just those instances." - Drowned in Sound 

"You wouldn't want everyone (or anyone else) to sound to like Benjamin Shaw but I'm delighted someone does." - The Line Of Best Fit 

"Benjamin Shaw is an outcast, a loner, a maverick and a freak. All of these are compliments." - CLASH Music 

"An album that is quite unlike anything else, full of blackened charisma and a sonic imagination quite different to most." - The Music Fix 

"Shaw may be pop's outsider - something many outlets noted upon his entry into the world of music - but with this release, he shows a faint desire to join the central fold. Perhaps it's due to resolute defeat, but still, that counts, right?" - The 405

Lyrics:
Bones, we watched bones through the laundromat’s fumes in the cold
￼￼
There’s a VA hospital that you and I’d walk by on our way to diners and beggars in popeye’s and now Did you know that you are the guardian of a part of my life that I had forgotten

There’s a song that you learned from your mom and you thought if you’d call it out she’d come along And bro, you never know just what she’s thinking about on trains home

Pain it’s all the same it’s always helping you out when you’re down
Remember that tree we carved while you freezed and the rivers of shoes left to rot out in Queens where there’s something to say but I’m too afraid and I whisper it once now it’s gone, its ok, I say 

Kid, do you know that you are the guardian of a part of my life that I had forgotten

There’s a song that you learned from your mom and you thought if you’d call it out she’d come along Did you know that I’ve thought about you every year in the cold where the train rattles through
And I never told you it’s just what I do

Lyrics:
Card was declined, she walked home crying 
Do you need a ride, his car was dry 
Oh I, there’s something to hide with some other guy 
You met on the side 
There’s something to hide, you would’ve been a beautiful bride 
￼￼ 
Rented a room by the hour 
Home before noon in time to shower 
O wow 
There’s some kinda power in the car in the shower 
Oh you’re such a coward 
There’s something to hide, you would’ve been a beautiful bride 
Don’t you know why I don’t call you 
Don’t you know why I don’t care 
Truth be told I’m waiting for you 
Just a look and I’ll be there 
Got in a cab her hair still damp 
Turned on her phone and texted him 
Oh man 
There’s something to hide with some other guy 
You met on the side 
There’s something to hide, you couldn’t tell him if you tried

Yes by god I’m American
God is great he’s hilarious
What the fuck y’all staring at
Tall, dark, bald and arrogant
Took the tram the rain flew off the glass
Thought of you and paused to let it pass
It takes it’s things off lays them on the grass
O yes
God bless the USA
I’m Ok
Call the paramedics
Call a priest call fedex
I’m a beast I’m pretty
Fuck with me forget it
Supermarkets lonely Clorox aisles
Counter girl the phone she never smiles
The fridge is buzzing like a child
O yes
God bless the USA
I’m Ok
Cluck Cluck pat yourself on the butt young man, I’m the king of smut young man, come give me a cut young man, shh
