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

My Beloved

glass beach - rare animal

i love you like a dog 
and i 
want you to find the place
where i hurt most 
and love me there
and love me there
 
practice rituals 
set my mind right 
cover me in abramelin 
clear your mind now 
get in touch with a divine mind 
the light is mine
it’s rays consume me
to stir me or still me
let it kill me!
(auum)
let it kill me!
(auum)

Casket Cassette :: Love Letters to Ghosts

Gravity

This song is about wanting to be surrounded by love when the day comes that you die you have lived a life full of pain but at that moment you just want to see that you have left a mark on the world and that all your loved once are here for you so you're not alone when you step in to the darkness
