OUT NOW: Frog’s “GROG” album is available on all platforms

“GROG” by Frog is finally out. You can find it on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple Music, and all other platforms. The response has been amazing. Thank you all so much. Say hi to Frog here.

“…straddles the line between hearty Americana, barren indie rock, and low-key emo. That sound continues on Grog, where Frog sing stories of dead-end detectives and fateful love that give your heart a soft punch.” – PITCHFORK

“…a distinct, off-kilter personality that’s just slightly off in the best way possible. The end results are riveting—or should I say ribbeting?” – BANDCAMP DAILY

“As ever, even the shortest of Frog’s stories feels epic, with a whole world created in a few simple lines. This Froglore (because why not?) is absurd, optimistic, defiant and yet grounded by love for the human condition, with all of its faults and quirks. By rights, Frog should be huger than their millions of streams. For now, GROG is more than enough to double this, and beyond, given a chance – 9/10.” – GOD IS IN THE TV

Thanks again to Acute Pop, Adobe & Teardrops, For The Rabbits, God Is In The TV, HI54 Blog, START-TRACK and Various Small Flames for running track premieres yesterday and helping Frog make it to #1 on Hype Machine!
