FRIGS Post-Punk Squall Turns ‘Doghead’ Into Something Imposing

Toronto group detail their debut album...

Toronto group FRIGS have shared new cut 'Doghead' – tune in below.

The band's 'Slush' EP alerted fans to something special, while live shows have bristled with a precocious, almost threatening energy.

Currently on tour with Wolf Parade, the band have now confirmed that their debut album will drop via Arts & Crafts next year.

New song 'Doghead' leads the way, a spiky post-punk squall whose complexities shudder and turn like a Rubik's Cube.

FRIGS explain: "'Doghead' was inspired by a character in Nick Cave's And the Ass Saw the Angel, using partial dialogue directly from the novel. Themes in the song include how lustful behaviours and jealously play into a desire for power."

Tune in now.
