Frail Body have announced their sophomore album Artificial Bouquet will be released through Deathwish Inc. on March 29th. The first single from the album is a track called “Refrain”, which the band has released the video below for.
Lowell Shaffer, the band’s vocalist/guitarist, offered:
“‘Refrain‘ is about how insignificant life can feel at the very end. The juxtaposition of a rich and complex life ending in a rented bed. The echos of those elements of significance and the final moments that must be ushered along with the rest of us all, also being subjected to life’s unjust experience.”
Pete Grossmann oversaw the production and engineering of the effort at his Bricktop Recording studio.
