lucky

some place afar
i wanna sit in front of a volcano

distant affairs
i wanna stop but its so hard to say no

and theres a crack down the road
i can see it from a month away

rush in
jump in
im ready to erupt
youre ready to erupt too

suffering
in the ash
but hey, its breathing
its what we do

rush in/volcano/milotic???

comm college has commenced
this time i'll try to make some friends
i've not talked in a while
and i've gotten nowhere with silent smiles

when walking by

hi i'm x4

this hallway's a work of art
the murals inside of your heart are reflecting all over the walls and inside your eyes

in your eyes

hi i'm x4

so when you're passing
(how do you do it?)
i'm asking
(how are you doing?)
it's past me
(how do you do it?)
x2

how do you do it?
how are you doing?
how do you do it?

hi i'm

I think I'm better off alone
At least for now
I really think I mean it somehow 
Unlike the last time
Or the last last time
I fed it into their ears to make them think I wasn't undone

And it took a day or two 
But really a month felt straining to the tooth
But now I feel loose
The weight is gone and
I think I can finally say
I think I'm better off alone

Better Off

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)

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

New Ro

Lyrics: 

Two lovers lie together 

Symmetry in the cemetery 


I don’t understand

Cause I’ve never been

They say it’s fine 

They say it’s fine


Lovers together

Forever and ever

I don’t think I 

Can tell you why 


Ahhhh ooooo

They died together 

Ahhhhh ooooo

Lovers forever

Cemeteries

Lyrics:
Baby things falling down for me
Empty feelings seem to make me see
Thoughts of seeing you happy with me
Could never seem to be enough for me

Cause maybe if you wanted to you would call
Cause lately i been feeling we’re drifting apart
So tell me why your mind seems to be far
Whenever i try to heal the scars

Baby tell me that we’ll be ok
Baby I don’t want to fade away
but the thought is sinking in my head
Marks from all the pain we shed
Forget about it we’re ok
Forget about it we’re ok.

Forget About It *demo*

Memory Maze

[part 1: food]

hey max, take your shirt off
it's overworn
aren't you almost 18?
relax, i wont judge
tonight i'm yours, plus
you've got a nice physique

now you're talking about hungry you are
"trust me, it goes once you start"
and you're walking around the fight i've endured
i guess i hide it too well

so i won't worry about
any name you call me
when you like how it sounds
so dont worry about any of my feelings
just call me food and eat me tonight
i can rid your appetite
just call me food and eat me

take off my wrapper
kiss my tender golden shell
just be careful, i'm soft
and i know it doesn't matter
but im not here to loosen belts
just to take some shirts off

now they're on the ground
and we're dancing in dark
trust me, i know you've got a good heart
you're a glutton and proud
i'm envious of everybody else
i guess we're going to hell

so i won't worry about
any name you call me
when you like how it sounds
so dont worry about any of my feelings
just call me food and eat me tonight
i can rid your appetite
just call me food and eat me

[part 2: alcoholic]

on my way home late at night
high school forefront of my mind
something about is making me numb
somehow i can't get enough

oh i just wanna put you down
but you're glued to my hands right now
grab another, further down the gutter

just noticed how often
these thoughts are in my head
something about 'em is making me think
i'm addicted to these feelings [x3]

you just wanna put me down
but im glued to your hands right now
its forever, maybe its for the better
cause its been worse but now this is better, right?
right?

cant stop drinking empty feelings
think this bottles deep as deep ends
cant stop drinking empty feelings
i think im an-
cant stop drinking empty feelings
think this bottles deep as deep ends
cant stop drinking empty feelings
i think im an alcoholic

oh i dont where id be without
everything i put in my mouth
i just wish we could put us down
but our bodies are glued to our hands right now

its forever
drown me out
