:: Release Notes:
::
:: Experimental Indie Synth Folk
::
:: Armored Frog, slow motion provocateurs, have outgrown their
:: britches and hit the road in support of Weasel On a
:: Weathervane, their third release since they formed in 2000.
:: Jake Baker turns the screws and George Ayres rides a slow
:: wave of poetic pseudo-sensuality as the predictably erratic
:: and occasionally brilliant duo of Erin Cadigan and Elliot
:: Hartlerode waltz off into the sunset playing every instrument
:: they can carry.
::
:: Armored Frog creates art music fit for populists and
:: politicos. In the beginning, Armored Frog was two young men
:: who played with synthesis and whispers, preferring drones to
:: bombast. As the band grew, so did the beast. The two became
:: four, and the music has blossomed because of it. While many
:: things have changed, it is important to note that the music
:: has maintaned its death grip on the minimal, a loggerφs
:: lullaby sung to English school children on judgement day, or
:: more simply, a soundtrack for a drowning.
::
:: Reviews-
::
:: Armored Frog make delicate, fabulous music... the ideal
:: pattern for watching snowflakes slowly accumulate on the
:: hard, winter ground past midnight. Armored Frog will make any
:: Good Morning Spider-era Sparklehorse fan appreciate the
:: [heart]ache and beauty in both of these records..."
:: -www.sctas.com
::
:: "a steady wash of synth and keys keep the sound well away
:: from the real world. Fuzzed out and seemingly uncertain of
:: their existence, every element is elusive and in flux. The
:: juxtaposition of pop medleys adds to the effect, making
:: everything blackly comedic. But for all the ethereal
:: qualities, the lyrics of Jake Baker and George Ayres pull the
:: album into reality. Nostalgia and missed opportunities crop
:: up as frequent subjects; being universal, they add to the
:: accessibility. It's great, addiciting music with a sarcastic
:: bite."
