Frog – Ichabod Crane

Posted by hugger | Published on July 17, 2012

Let’s not jump to any grand conclusions just yet as this is Frog’s first release (7 track self-titled EP) and anyway they have a little way to go in the catchy promo pic department. The Queen’s duo of Tom White and Dan Bateman might just be out to snag a generation not yet aware of They Might Be Giants and they’ve made a bright start (their website has a top level domain for Christmas Island). ‘Ichabod Crane’ has a (school)masterly sense of the absurd, which might sound like fingernails down a chalkboard for some but there is beauty to be found amongst the carnage. More of this and they could spawn a legion of imitators. KD
