New York duo Frog (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.

“Grog” will be released both CD and digitally on November 17th and launched with a performance at YoFi Fest 11 (Yonkers, NY) which accompanies a screening of their “Kings of Blah” documentary.

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)

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

I Will Let It (Go) is the fifth release of 2023 from singer-songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Chords Of Indigo. Streaming everywhere from the 3rd November.

An indie-pop confessional about late-night / early-morning missteps, and the emotional whiplash that follows.

Built around an ever-present bright and folksy acoustic guitar, the song builds into an ethereal, funky crescendo of bass, bubbling synth-work and layered vocal harmonies that takes cues from The Smiths, The 1975 and even alt-pop-rockers Coheed and Cambria.

Written, recorded and produced entirely independently in his South Manchester studio/spare bedroom, I Will Let It (Go) adds yet another unique flavour to Chords Of Indigo’s output.

Lyrics: 

turn me
im your light switch
live my life on dark mode
ever since you bit me 

darkness is your venom
make me your bitch
God made me cute
you made me grim 

i am. always. on. suspense
my body’s post traumatic stress
the sun. seems to. burn my. flesh 
i don’t wanna live forever like this 

should i murder you
would that make me the same 

but i am not the same as you
i am not the same as you

i really really want revenge 
but then i wouldn’t differ
from you, and your deadly friends

your sharp fangs
want to meet 
my fresh neck
say you only want a taste
im still a good girl in God’s name
as soon as the sun fades

you close the blinds and
pull me in the shades
compelled, spelled
im in your shadows
but if i spill your secrets
will anybody believe my sorrows?

i could plunge a wood stick into your chest 
lay your cold-stone remains to rest 
but wouldn’t that make me the same? 
killing those kill to prove that killing is inhumane

i don’t want to be built the same way 
without reflection in the mirrors
but who am i without the thriller 
an eye for an eye, id too be a reaper 
but if i do nothing, im just a whisper
echoing in your lonely shimmers 

i am stronger, i am thicker
even when the light inside of me flickers
so turn me into a night killer 
ill use my pain to paint a picture 
tell the whole world of my thirsty visitor

god made me cute, 
you made me sinister 
now how does it feel
to grow up quicker? 
i could drain your blood
leave your beatless heart in timbers 
i could be your dracula, your dead ringer

but i am not the same as you
i am just not the same as you 
i am not the same as you
i am not the same as you

am i a monster without railings 
crashing through bloody cravings
