Berlin based percussionist Eilis Frawley (Party Fears & I Drew Blank) releases her debut single ‘Illusions’ from her forthcoming EP via Reckless Yes Records.
Bold and distinct from the off, Frawley has combined a unique blend of spoken word and the Avant Garde pop of Flying Lizzards and tUnE-yArDs. Despite the left field approach to music and production, Frawley has anchored her lyrics in the everyday.
She tackles the stresses of projecting our best selves on social media and simultaneously neglecting the nourishment of the soul. Better still, rather than offer clichés about living for the weekend, Frawley offers up a savage indictment of how over worked and pressured we are:
“One free evening and we ruin our livers to forget”
This is a rare piece of alt-pop. It’s accessible and weird simultaneously. It is absolutely ripe to freshen up BBC6 Music.
