OUT ON APRIL 16th !!! : PETULAelephant dresses froggi:30 info: join the choir, sing along! “Elephant Dresses” is spreading spring. this is where playful hits and fragile dreaminess meet to form melodies forever. Petula´s first album brings you loop folk and that great, frequently used falsetto voice, that sometimes makes me imagine him as a character in a Flying Circus cartoon by Terry Gilliam. 9 songs about sleep, despair, making out, little birds and hate. let´s all put “elephant dresses” into our walkman and „we´ll hang out with the most enchanting singing girls and guys.“ [white tapes in an extra nice cardboard slipcase with a window] >>listen to: we´ll become p( )rentheses >>visit: www.petula.org ....................................................................................... to get tapes please write to: derfroggi |at| gmx.de ....................................................................................... RECENT RELEASES:  PONK / DAISUKE TANABEwool and water ep / split shot ep froggi:29 info: pOnk is combining tripping grooves with hip hop influences and post-rockish melodies. the concept behind the ep was to only use analogue drum computer beats, bass guitar, found sounds and celesta. Daisuke Tanabe creates spherical, yet very playful collages of electronic and organic sounds. his tracks on the tape were all created under the name Cat Eat Mosquito, which marks his earlier works. the two sides of the tape come together very well; although they sound pretty different they share this specific atmosphere.

"fingertier" is the Kid´s stream of conciousness on a inspired thursday afternoon, captured on tape. but the daubentonia madagascariensis (aka aye-aye or hay-hay) was the one really pulling the strings here. (2009) >>visit: www.kidikarus.de  PETULAbrothers floppi:1 info: folksy rambles, indie pop hits, electronic sidesteps, beautiful sketches. "brothers" brings you 3 new Petula songs, of which the third one depends on whether you get the ep at live shows, online or via us. first release on froggi´s sublabel floppi records.

BJÖRN KLEINHENZvita hända froggi:?? info: strictly limited to just 18 copies!! (2009) >>visit: www.kleinhenz.se  MOCKback to the futr froggi:27 info: Think about early post-hardcore of the mid 90s, the sound of the ‘Midwest’ and add some inspiration by Postrock in the vein of the Chicago school and you might get a glimpse on what the music of Berlins new trio mOck sounds like: driving, melodic, irregular, changing between crooked rhythms and floating, minimal structures. Just when you think you get it, there is a surprise. Sometimes noisy and unhandy, the next moment playful loops, outbursts and minimalistic withdrawals.

Hidden wit, braving the gap. out of focus and by this already completely back inside.
