Following the critical and commercial success of their 2023 ‘Grog’ LP, cult New York Indie duo Frog have returned with a festive new single and announcements for a new LP and their largest tour to date.

December 6th’s “Did Santa Come” single is the first preview of Frog’s upcoming sixth album, ‘1000 Variations on the Same Song,’ which will be released in February and followed by a North America tour in March and April. 

Frog have touched on the sadness of the holidays in the past with songs like “Wish Upon a Bar” and “Space Jam,” but new single, “Did Santa Come,” leans into the season with a newfound enthusiasm, inspired by Daniel Bateman’s young son:

“This song is about my son when he was two years old at Christmas time. Every morning for 2-3 weeks after, he would wake up and ask, “Did Santa come?” Seeing the world through the eyes of your children makes it all very beautiful.”

Since Frog returned from hiatus in 2023 with the addition of Daniel’s brother Steve Bateman on drums, they’ve received significant critical acclaim and enjoyed a run of sold-out shows in the Tri-state area. These 2025 dates will see the band joined by Frog co-founder Tom White on bass and will take them to cities like Los Angeles, Vancouver, Seattle, Portland, Boise (Treefort Music Fest), and more for first-time-ever shows.

Praise for Frog's "GROG" (2023):

"Daniel’s humdrum American portraiture and embodiment of passionate persistence have defined Frog’s sound for nearly a decade, and on Grog, a brotherly bond encourages those songwriting traits to get louder, bolder, and weirder without sacrificing any of the heart." – PITCHFORK

"...a distinct, off-kilter personality that’s just slightly off in the best way possible. The end results are riveting—or should I say ribbeting?" – BANDCAMP DAILY

"Remarkable...a gritty, idiosyncratic vignette of the city..." – STEREOGUM

"...straddles the line between hearty Americana, barren indie rock, and low-key emo. That sound continues on Grog, where Frog sing stories of dead-end detectives and fateful love that give your heart a soft punch." – PITCHFORK (“9 New Albums You Should LIsten to Now”)

DID SANTA COME

Frog - DID SANTA COME

The gates of madness

Nevermore

I don't want no I miss you's
I don't want no please come back to me
Come back to me

I don't want no I miss you's
I don't want no please come back to me
Come back to me

No I'm not wasting my time
Anymore time with you (x2)

You used to text me all night
About everything that you'd do
Everything you'd do 

Now you take long to reply 
Cause I know you're out texting him too
Texting him too

No I'm not wasting my time 
Anymore time with you (x2)

You're always blowing me off, blowing me off
To hang out with your friends
You're always missing my calls, missing my calls 
Cause I'm never on your head
You're always making excuses for all the things
You do to me
Now I'm putting you before myself
But that's not news to me

No I'm not wasting my time
Anymore time with you (x2)

Anymore time with you (x4)

Forgotten
