New music today from Carey Mercer’s (Swan Lake, Blackout Beach) Frog Eyes project. Dead Oceans (on a roll lately) will be releasing the band’s upcoming Paul’s Tomb: A Triumph, the follow up to 2007’s Tears of the Valedictorian. “A Flower In A Glove” kicks off the 9 song album and is another manic, swirling epic in the spirit of 2007’s brilliant “Bushels”. Listen up.MP3 :: A Flower In A Glove(from Paul’s Tomb: A Triumph. Info here)------------------------------------------------------------------------------

New: Frog Eyes "A Flower in a Glove"

Canada's Frog Eyes first came on my radar when they teamed up with Destroyer's Dan Bejar first as his back up band then as Swan Lake. Frog Eyes are releasing their seventh album, Paul’s Tomb: A Triumph which took almost three years to make. The first single from the album is "A Flower in a Glove". At nearly 9-minutes long, its not the typical single but it is definitely epic. Check it out.MP3: Frog Eyes "A Flower in a Glove"

New Frog Eyes - "A Flower In A Glove"

Led by sagacious howler, songwriter, and occasional op-ed writer Carey Mercery, Frog Eyes are following 2007's Tears Of The Valedictorian with Paul's Tomb: A Triumph. We've only heard the collection's 9-minute opener "A Flower In A Glove," but so far ... a triumph indeed. That said, like his Swan Lake bandmate Dan Bejar's monumental "Bay Of Pigs" disco or his own Enemy Mine standout "Spanish Gold, 2044" (to choose a more recent Mercer composition), "A Flower" deserves repeat listens and plenty of unpacking. For starters, note the awesome build at 4:42 while you get to the bottom the song's words, the album cover, etc.Continue reading New Frog Eyes - "A Flower In A Glove"...
