Music News - Introducing Frills
15 February 2018 - 0 Comments
They make catchy-as-hell tunes, which have been doing all sorts of damage on Spotify while piquing the interest of US tastemakers, such as NYLON, HillyDilly and Line of Best Fit.
Meet Frills. And while you’re at it, have a listen to their debut single My Love.
Frills was conceived in a studio in a Brooklyn bedroom where
longtime songwriting collaborators and New Zealand music
stalwarts, Simon
Oscroft (Midnight
Youth, MOTHXR)
and Dan Gibson (Streets of Laredo, Kingston),
began messing around with some GarageBand beats.
It started out as a bit of fun but Oscroft and Gibson's voice memos and
ideas quickly became finished songs. It soon became clear to the
pair that they’d unintentionally created a band.
With esteemed reputations in their own right on the Kiwi music scene, Oscroft and Gibson have spent
the last few years dividing their time between New Zealand and the States.
After Midnight Youth, Oscroft made a name for himself in the US in the band MOTHXR, while Gibson and
his NYC-based band of Kiwis, Streets
of Laredo, delighted indie-folk fans from coast to
coast.
Both are also accomplished producers. With an impeccable
track record, including with the indie-pop-rock girl band The Aces, they work
out of their own studio tucked away in a quiet corner of Brooklyn
overlooking the New York City skyline.
Between writing and producing for others, Frills released a string of singles
last year, including their debut track ‘My
Love’, which has clocked more than two million streams on
Spotify. The song was written and recorded in its entirety on one afternoon in
the New York winter of early 2017.
It signaled the start of something special, and
although there’s an understated, casual Kiwi nature to the way in
which Frills and
their music has come together, the duo's impact is already been felt far
and wide.
So stay tuned for what’s next. Frills is
coming in hot and fast!
