I guessed it was about time I should touchdown on home soil musically,
as lately I've been travelling (not literally) the world on a wave of indie-pop
from Australia, America, Norway and Sweden.
Into the big smoke of our capital city reigns Radar act
Fryars (real name Ben Garratt, 22 years young) a natural poetic genius of the
21st century gathering speed through an off the cuff bet by the NME
and Zane Lowe causing mass hysteria though his next hype.
If anybody remembers Dave Grohl and his keynote speech at
this year’s SXSW you’ll remember him grabbing his guitar along with 2 tape
decks and recording himself, Fryars is the true example of this. Self recorded
and self released, gaining attention far and wide.
Take a metaphorical stirring pot and add the ingredients of the
fingers of Gold Panda, the vocals James Blake, the more emotional Jack Penate
and the musical dust that Dépêche Mode leave in their absence. You should be
left with something that creates Radar track ‘On Your Own’, a plethora of emotion,
a brick wall of lust, like that punch to the stomach when you see the person
you can’t gather the guts to speak to, yes, that feeling.
You can see Fryars at London’s St Pancreas Old Church on 2nd
of May or Leeds Holy Trinity on 7th May.
‘On Your Own’ is set for single release on 13th
of May 2013.
