Frank Black

Frank Black

A high-gloss pivot into surrealist power pop. Dense synthesizers and jagged guitars meet lyrics about UFOs, sci-fi geography, and the ghost of Joey Ramone.

It's like the Pixies went to space and came back with a synthesizer and a map of Patagonia.

A caffeinated, wide-eyed exploration of the strange and the melodic.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The soaring, synth-backed chorus of Los Angeles that reimagines global geography.
The tender, melodic guitar interplay on I Heard Ramona Sing that serves as a love letter to the Ramones.
The sudden, aggressive vocal shift and driving rhythm section that anchors Ten Percenter.
