Premiered by For the Rabbits - https://fortherabbits.net/2018/11/20/premiere-frog-bones

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

Premiered on Various Small Flames - https://varioussmallflames.co.uk/2018/11/15/frog-american/

Lyrics:
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

Previous Press:

"A safer bet there’s never been – this record is essential." - GoldFlakePaint

“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

“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

“A record whose sheer flood of ideas couldn't be denied.” – CLASH Music

“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

“The best American guitar record of the year. Seriously. It's like every cult band from the past decade bottled in to half an hour of music." - Tom Johnson (Drowned in Sound)

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

“A real treat: hunt down debut album Kind Of Blah forthwith.” - The Skinny

SOUL ISLAND - Neon Vision

All The Time

Dance, it is said, is the hidden language of the soul, but Monique Barry has given it a new linguistic identity by becoming the voice of dance itself. It all happens in her newest single, which, appropriately enough, is called 'Dance'. It's the fifth and latest in a series of singles by Monique that's slated to culminate in a completed album entitled HAAK. 

From single to single, Monique has been exploring the journey from innocence into experience, building on the theme with each song. She enters this new chapter of her musical search by singing in a soothing foxtrot lilt, with the vocal narrative set in a dance club where her protagonist goes to escape a failing romance. There the atmosphere of comfortable chaos with “no cares at all” is highlighted by crisp percussion, music box twinkling (played on a celeste and serving as the voice of disco mirror balls), and synthesizer tones that hover and soar. Gradually as the hunger for escape evolves into a search for order and safety, Monique lifts the lyrics to the next level with her moody, waltzing delivery, and the music gathers into a whirling cloud of sound, suggesting both safety and release, shadow and light. 

Hailed for her “hypnotic mystique” (eye magazine) and “dynamic vocal range” (The Independent Weekly), Monique Barry has consistently demonstrated a willingness to experiment with musical forms and the aesthetic knowhow to back up her creative instincts. Her previous albums—Moody (1998), Tripping (2003), Carbon (2009), and Wake (2013)—have established a critically appreciated affinity for musical dynamism and innovation. Always drawing on a wide range of experiential and cultural influences, Monique’s inspiration for 'Dance' evolved from a section of Joseph Boyden’s novel Through Black Spruce in which a DJ plays mainstream dance music with native rhythms mixed in as a way of communicating. 

Also making musical waves on 'Dance' are some of Monique’s most trusted and vibrant collaborators: Marc Merilainen on guitar, Alisdair Jones on bass, Emma Campbell on vocals and  Michael Philip Wojewoda, co-producer, drums and mix.

I’m Still Holding Out For You

I been hanging on your shadow for so long
Dreamin’ ‘bout an old tomorrow in a song
I’ll keep holding out for you
I’m still holding out for you

Lord another late night wasted on my own
Looking through a thousand faces on my phone
I’ll keep holding out for you
I’m still holding out for you

You can take my breath away, I’ll still be breathing
You can take your love away, my heart will still be beating for you
I’m holding out for you

I been thinking ‘bout your crazy fucking lies
Couldn’t even phase me, even if I tried
I’ll keep holding out for you
I’m still holding out for you

You can take my breath away, I’ll still be breathing
You can take your love away, my heart will still be beating for you
As I hold it down for you
I’m holding out for you
As I hold it down for you

I’ll go down to the river
Hold my head underwater
Pray to God He delivers
Me from your ways
And even if I drown
I’m gonna’ hold it down for you

I'm Still Holding Out For You
