ABOUT THE FRAIL

The Frail creates sensual, vulnerable and provocative electronic pop music that has the potential to appeal to many generations. With vocalist Daniel Lannon’s (former lead singer of The Faraday Effect) smooth, stylishly sincere, warm falsetto vocals, and co-writing, guitar and production efforts of Kevin Durr, this band has the potential to be what the Eurythmics were to the eighties. The additional band members, from France, Sebastien Poux, drums and samples, San Jose’s Waide Hicks, bass and synth, and Denver’s Kevin Moxcey, guitars and synth, were all part of another popular local band, Good Luck At the Gun Fight. Together they are creating a sound that is defining the new electronic pulse.

REVIEWS

"Surprisingly cohesive for their audience debut, The Frail’s performance hinted that bigger stages weren’t far off. The band’s dark and dancey electro sound could easily land them a spot opening for Bloc Party or Hot Hot Heat. Lights and smoke did help to create such an impression, but even without the showiness, their set was anything but frail. Hypnotic synths, breathy and falsetto vocals, crisp drums and pulsating bass pierced through the fog to create both a wistful soundscape like that of The Postal Service, and a heavier, more volatile design like that of The Faint. Once The Frail hones its stage presence and gets more comfortable in front of a crowd, everything will be golden; and until then, the slight awkwardness is endearing." – Katherine Hoffert, Performer Magazine

"The Bay Area’s The Frail are the perfect fix for anyone waiting for the next POSTAL SERVICE record, and oddly enough, this reference is actually fitting, as they met online, exchanging songs over the internet to create the original demos, like said Postal Service. The Count On This EP, is full of big electronic beats mixed with indie rock sensibilities, tipping their caps to HOT CHIP at times, then to DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE at others." – Future Sounds

"Freshly signed to Tricycle Records and currently in the studio working on their first album, the Frail has already become an addiction for me, as I keep revisiting their MySpace page to listen again and again. For fans of The Postal Service." – Elise Nordling, Rightround / SOMA FM
