The Frightnrs - Always LP
SKU: DAP071
Description:
Before Dan Kleinʼs unfortunate passing, The Frightnrs agreed to
keep a promise he asked of them - continue making music together.
Part of that promise has been made manifest here... Daptone Records
is proud to present ALWAYS - the raw, soulful new long player from
The Frightnrs.
The road to Always began with a period of intense songwriting back
when The Frightnrs and producer Victor Axelrod (Ticklah) were
working on the group's debut, rocksteady masterpiece, Nothing More
to Say. In addition to the scorchers heard therein, Axelrod and The
Frightnrs agreed many of the recordings were too sweet to tamper
with in order to fit the rocksteady mold. Some were created at
their headquarters in Queens with Dan on the mic, some were
elaborations on older ideas, others were brand new creations made
at the finish line.
Thanks to the vocal stems they had captured in this golden period,
Dan Kleinʼs other-worldly voice lived on, giving The Frightnrs all
the raw material they needed for an entire albumʼs worth of new,
original music. So with that, The Frightnrs and Axelrod returned to
the studio and painstakingly conceptualized, tracked, re-tracked
and mixed them into a complete album with their beloved friend
singing lead. The fruits of this arduous process lay bare the
undying love and respect between musical brothers.
The last song written for this album, "Why Does it Feel Like a
Curse", married two song concepts with one of Dan's original vocal
performances - creating a beautiful, flawless composition that not
only serves as a highlight reel of their editing skills and
songwriting prowess, but also as a kind of metaphor for The
Frightnrs journey. The perfect ending for ALWAYS.
