: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: Martin FrawleyÆs debut solo-album ôUndone at 31ö is his first :,
: outing post-Twerps and with help from Stewart Bronaugh (Angel :
:' Olsen, Lionlimb), the Australian singer has constructed a fun, ':
,: easy listening record that combines the melodrama of a breakup :,
: with the affinity of getting back on your feet. :
:' ':
,: To truly appreciate this album, one must understand the context :,
: of how it was brought about. Frawley co-lead the Australian :
:' lo-fi revivalist band with his partner Julia McFarlane until ':
,: the two broke up. Finding himself ôUndone at 31ö, this project :,
: was conceived. Four years after the last Twerps album, Frawley :
:' has graced us with passionate, heartfelt lyrics that intertwine ':
,: majestically with beautiful instrumentals on what is a :,
: unquestionably strong debut album. :
:' ':
,: EveryoneÆs experienced loss in one way or another. ItÆs vile and :,
: unpleasant, yet inevitable for us all. On this album, Frawley :
:' encapsulates almost every emotion that takes place in the ':
,: recovery stage, post-loss. Starting with the inaugural track :,
: ôYou Want Me?ö is the constant questioning and concern that fill :
:' ones head... like a plague. ':
,: :,
: ôDoes she want me, does miss me, does she love me?ö :
:' ':
,: ôDoes she need me, does she hope for me, does she think of me? :,
: :
:' These questions, presented so tender and fragile, and ':
,: complimented with such a simple and lovely piano lick, linger :,
: long after the song completes. :
:' ':
,: In processing these questions, Frawley turns to the bottle in :,
: ôEnd of the Barö. ItÆs another wonderful song where he is able :
:' to capture the raw state of loss. It is an unfiltered, four ':
,: minute track that lays it all on the line, and whatÆs left after :,
: the rough piano has drifted off, is the crude, unsavoury state :
:' of a dismay. As Frawley put it, ôyou look familiar, you look ':
,: tired, you look like youÆve dealt with meö. :,
: :
:' Continuing from there, the album hits lows and highs; starting ':
,: to drift, only to come back and jump in your face with ôChain :,
: Reactionö, a song that relies on foot-tapping drums and :
:' head-bopping bass to deliver one of the strongest tracks on the ':
,: record. :,
: :
:' ôYou CanÆt Winö is another emotional track, which uplifts ':
,: itself through itÆs strong smooth guitar. Frawley repeats ôyou :,
: canÆt love if you donÆt fallö, once again highlighting the :
:' realism and sourness of a breakup. He shows that devoting so ':
,: much time and effort into something will only end for you as it :,
: did for him. :
:' ':
,: The most beautiful track of 2019 so far, ôSomething About Meö is :,
: a song where Frawley reminisces and rethinks on his decisions. :
:' His lyrics float effortlessly through a track so tender and ':
,: soft, it could be mistaken for a lullaby. On top of a delightful :,
: piano and heart-rending violin, he sings ômaybe, lady, youÆre :
:' better off without meö. Here it seems as though FrawleyÆs ':
,: toughest battle is the one raging on inside him. :,
: :
:' ôLo and Beholdö, the shortest of the ten tracks, is a tiny song ':
,: that resonates in a big way. The guitar teeters between campfire :,
: and truck-stop and FrawleyÆs lyrics nearly bring a tear to your :
:' eye, singing ôlo and behold, she had someone else to holdö. The ':
,: song ends abruptly with Frawley proudly saying ônow heÆs found :,
: someone else to holdö, proving that everyone moves on :
:' eventually, to another fate... ôyou canÆt win if you donÆt ':
,: loseö. :,
: :
:' His lyrics float effortlessly through a track so tender and ':
,: soft, it could be mistaken for a lullaby. :,
: :
:' From there the album wraps up in eight and a half minutes. ':
,: ôCome Homeö is a melancholy melody of shattered love and :,
: brokenness and ôWhere the Heart Isö is a peaceful ending where :
:' Frawley calls out for love, ôtell me you need me and IÆll come ':
,: running to youö. Forty minutes later and the album ends with a :,
: lonely guitar fizzling away into nothingness, like FrawleyÆs :
:' relationship, to never return. ':
,: :,
: ôUndone at 31ö proves that Frawley has not lost a beat since his :
:' Twerp days, and in fact, has upped his game to a level where ':
,: itÆs never been. The albumÆs melancholy subject matter and :,
: melodic instrumentals leave the listener reflecting on their own :
:' losses in life, and will fill them with questions that theyÆll ':
,: ponder long after the album ends. :,
