ABOUT THE FRAIL

Over the past few years, velvet-throated vocalist Daniel Lannon and hyper-prolific producer Kevin Durr and Israel Chavarin have propelled the group from a Craigslist collaboration to a stage-shattering electro-pop act worthy of international acclaim. Pushing the pop and electronic boundaries to something bigger, their music is a hybrid of indie, pop, synth, Top 40, and electro. Defying traditional genre classification, the group’s electro-tinged cuts toe the line between a falsetto homage to Michael Jackson and the hyper-literate electro experimentation of DFA acts like LCD Soundsystem.

Building on the foundation of their new album LoveDeathLegend, set by Producer and Engineer Patrick Brown at Different Fur Studios in San Francisco, the band was recently invited by Converse to finish recording their album at the Rubber Tracks Studio in Brooklyn, which will be released later this year.
