Maybelline 02:59
Maybelline I saw you gleaming in a dairy queen your eyes were steaming up with Dexedrine and lies, you’re sleeping in a factory at night You never wanted that to be your life she’s making her way back to me in time it tingles when you talk to me in line like fingers moving softly down your spine Yes yes they fucked it up they died they left him dead on a hillside It’s with a special kind of pride you put on all those stars and stripes I’m gonna think about you now when I get drinks and walk to town The song it sinks beneath the Sound I’m gonna figure you out Maybelline the car was doing 65 on 84 The headlines swept across you in the forest Emotionless and soft you stared out to us Detective well he coughed and slammed the door He’s hungover as fuck his back is sore The time of death approximately 4 He’s dreaming of her touch the night before Yes yes they fucked it up they died they left him dead on a hillside It’s with a special kind of pride you put on all those stars and stripes I’m gonna think about you now when I get drinks and walk to town The song it sinks beneath the Sound I’m gonna figure you out

ABOUT "GROG" (OUT NOV 17):

Frog's first release since 2019's "Count Bateman." Out Nov 17th via Audio Antihero & Tape Wormies. Available now for digital pre-order (heyitsfrog.bandcamp.com/album/grog).

Full of hope, nostalgia, defeat and lust, Frog describe "Grog" as "both gothic and cartoonish." The album is full of the emotional Americana, weird wordplay, 70s pop experimentation, 90s guitar energy and 60s garage rock swagger that earned songs like "Judy Garland" and "You Know I'm Down" several million Spotify streams.

The cult NY duo have toured the UK and US, and received acclaim and airplay from the likes of NPR, BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music, BBC Scotland, DIY Mag, TLOBF and Clash Magazine. They were also the subject of the "Kings of Blah" documentary film in 2018 (www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsdG3UUBpnE).

PREVIOUS PRAISE FOR FROG:

"The best American guitar record of the year. Seriously. It's like every cult band from the past decade bottled into half an hour of music." – Gold Flake Paint

“Frog sounds like a dirtbag ’Harmony Hall,’ here for it.” – Ian Cohen (Pitchfork)

“The prodigal Frog returns...” – NPR

“Irreverent, strange and just a little addictive." – Clash Magazine

“Imagine the euphoric pop of Small Wonder getting caught in a time warp to the Wild West with Modest Mouse’s ‘Satin in a Coffin’ and you just about scratch the surface." – DIY Mag

“A wealth of subtle nuances, wry homages, and nostalgic narratives that were enough to make listeners lament growing up anywhere other than suburban America.” – The Line of Best Fit

"A splendid piece of work." – Gideon Coe (BBC 6 Music)

“Oh, god. Help me, words. Help me convey what a blessing Frog is.” – Collapse Board

“Locked between the unstoppable force of self-deprecation and the immovable object of the American Dream.” – Various Small Flames
