Frog Eyes
Published 7:00 am Wednesday, May 19, 2010
The Canadian experimental rock outfit Frog Eyes makes foggy, distorted music, replete with crashing percussions and the occasional shimmering piano melody. Listening to last months Pauls Tomb: A Triumph feels a bit like getting caught in a sudden turbulent rainstorm. The bands fifth full-length is a heavy piece of work epic, spacious-sounding indie rock on the scale of Wolf Parade (WP keyboardist Spencer Krug was a founding member of Frog Eyes), with frontman Carey Mercers distinctive voice piercing through the songs long stretches of instrumental breaks kind of like a beacon in all that fog. With Plants & Animals, Lost in the Trees. ERIN K. THOMPSON
