Music Street Journal reviews Frogbelly and Symphony‘s debut album Blue Bright Ow Sleep, out now on CD, vinyl and digital formats from Labelship UK:

This is such an unusual and original set. It’s also brilliant. The mix of sounds here is the kind of thing I’ve seldom heard. While I have laid out the basic premise of each piece, you really have to hear this to fully appreciate it. If you like your music adventurous, I highly recommend this.

The Deli Magazine NYC features Frogbelly and Symphony

The Deli Magazine NYC features Frogbelly and Symphony and “Invite to Eternity” from their debut album Blue Bright Ow Sleep, out now on Labelship UK. Check out their tour dates, as they head across the pond for shows in the UK.

With their sound and attitude at times reminiscent of great ’90s UK band Tindersticks (whose music was too dark and decadent to make an impression in the US), and at others veering towards some kind of operatic math cabaret, Brooklyn and Sheffield, UK based band Frogbelly and Symphony just released their debut album Blue Bright Ow Sleep, which was recorded in NYC by legendary producer Martin Bisi.

Glacially Musical reviews Frogbelly and Symphony‘s debut album Blue Bright Ow Sleep, out on CD, vinyl and digital formats on Labelship UK on March 24th.

If you’ve said that music is too boring, derivative, or anything along those lines, here you go. This album is 100% unique to my ears.

Nooga.com reviews Frogbelly and Symphony’s song “Patch of Blue”

Posted on by Rebekah Tweed

Nooga.com reviews Frogbelly and Symphony‘s new single “Patch of Blue” from their forthcoming debut album Blue Bright Ow Sleep, out on March 24th on Labelship UK:

Dense guitar riffs, a thudding percussive backbone and singer Liz Hanley’s powerful voice lead us along this road of opaque rhythms and mercurial instrumentation—the song incorporates bits of experimental noise and sound, all blended together in a jarring suite of music that feels like the tail end of a terrifying trip through Frankenstein’s laboratory.
