Music of the Day: Frayle - Head Down (Soundgarden Cover)

Frayle makes music for the night sky. Formed in 2017 by guitarist Sean Bilovecky & vocalist Gwyn Strang. Frayle’s “lullabies over chaos” approach to songwriting allows the group to explore what is possible with heavy music; its gorgeously ominous sound –a result of layering & tone stacking with the perfect balance of heaving, heavy riffs, & haunting melodies. Gwyn's lyrics tell stories of heartbreak, anger, hypocrisy & resolution. Her angelic, siren-like voice pulls at the tension between wanting to dissolve into the universe & needing to stand on top of it, elastically ethereal phrases that bring to mind Cocteau Twins’ Elizabeth Fraser or Portishead's Beth Gibbons.
