MP3 Armored Frog - Weasel On a Weathervane
12 MP3 Songs
ROCK: Folk Rock, ELECTRONIC: Experimental
Details:
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 loggerís 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..."

"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."
