Afterglow

Afterglow (Boom Bip Remix) [feat. Kimbra]

Trippy blends of Fierce Alternative Rock and Psychedelia, recorded at RML Studios.

The poetic lyrics reflect upon how throughout our lives as adults, time seems to slip through our grasp uncontrollably, contrary to our younger days, when time seemed to almost stand still for us, or at least in our memories...

Produced by Charm & Ryan Pinson.

Released on 01/12/23.

"Grog" LP Out Nov 17th: bit.ly/FrogGrogInfoPage

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.

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

Embark on a sonic journey with Sergio Suárez Benítez's 'Snare Sonata,' a symphony of beats that transcends the boundaries of instrumental music. This album is an electrifying fusion, a testament to Benítez's artistry in seamlessly blending ambient, techno, and house into a captivating sonata.

The odyssey begins with ambient undertones, creating an atmospheric prelude that slowly builds, inviting you into the heart of the 'Snare Sonata.' As the album progresses, techno beats emerge with rhythmic precision, setting the stage for an energetic movement that propels you through the intricate passages of sound. House influences seamlessly intertwine, adding an infectious groove that beckons the listener to surrender to the dance of sonic elements.

Trance echoes elevate the mood, guiding you through ethereal landscapes within the sonata. Dubstep intricacies add a dynamic and unpredictable quality, creating peaks and valleys that mirror the emotional depth of the composition. Breakbeat rhythms contribute to the ebb and flow, ensuring that each movement within the sonata is a unique exploration of beats.

Downtempo interludes offer moments of reflection, allowing the listener to catch their breath amidst the relentless dance of beats.

Glitchy textures and drumstep intricacies bring an experimental undertone, challenging the listener's perception of rhythmic patterns. Hardcore influences surge through, injecting an adrenaline rush that heightens the intensity of the sonata. Electro and minimal undertones reveal meticulous craftsmanship, where every sonic element plays a pivotal role in shaping the overall auditory experience.

Psytrance and industrial tones interweave, creating a symphony that mirrors the complexity of the 'Snare Sonata.' The bass resonates with a commanding presence, providing a solid foundation for the album's progressive and synthpop elements. Jungle beats and nu-disco aesthetics infuse a lively energy, inviting listeners to join the dance within the sonata.

i spent all of sunday evening
trying to get closer
to the person once called a lover
but i couldn't find the words to say

you know its wrong
when your heart won't stop
and the feelings numb
inside your arms
inside your mind
and inside my fucking head

i'm getting closer
at finding my own fate
remember that
i'll always turn away
oh darling
what happened?
i threw myself down the fucking stairs?

we fell
in love
we tied
the knot
i felt
helpless
it's getting hard
it's getting hard to ignore regret

i'm getting closer
at finding my own fate
remember that
i'll always turn away
oh darling
what happened?
i threw myself down the fucking stairs?

clean up this park or you're fired!
