FRYARCORP/unsigned

WE SAY

frYars is Ben Garrett, an 18 year old London-based musician whose debut EP is getting attention in a variety of places. NME Radar featured him and online pieces on Pitchfork, The Guardian and plenty of blog buzz has put momentum behind him. We like this - a refreshing blend of electro-acoustic melodies and that unsettling but intriguing voice. Lots of interest is coming from labels already, and not just in the UK The current EP will be released in Japan by Rallye/ Klee, the label that released Klaxons' first EP over there. The next EP will be available independently here in January - frYars is available for records and publishing. Video here. JF London Gig: November 19, The Slaughtered Lamb EC1
