Toronto post-punk four-piece Frigs have announced their debut full-length album, ‘Basic Behaviour’, due out 23rd February via Arts & Crafts. The band have shared the new track ‘Talking Pictures’ alongside the announcement.
“‘Talking Pictures’ was a turning point in the development of ‘Basic Behaviour’. There was a starkness to it that really resonated with us at the time, becoming a catalyst for a new style of songwriting that would eventually finish the record,” recalls vocalist Bria Salmena.
“Lyrically, it is about the need to be stimulated. It was written during a period where I felt a lack of both external and internal encouragement, preventing me from thinking freely or creatively. Falling into a void of routine, I was distracting myself from real life experiences, and those experiences, once examined, seemed only filtered through interactions with technology and social media. In writing this song, I attempted to explore this void and my distracted state in hopes of losing any numbness I felt in my day-to-day life.”
