Formed in the foothills of Northern Colorado in early 2020, Alex Woodchek and Cor Wright of Frail Talk are creating a blooming universe of squiggly indie music for squiggly people. Like the kind surprise of a backyard garden, their songs spring up from the dirt with folk roots, soft pop colors, and burgeoning lyricism ready to welcome every listener with daydream-love.

In August of 2024, Frail Talk released their sophomore album, Microspirit. Recorded in seven days of heat-sweat-friend-magic in Silsbee, TX alongside producers Hannah Read (Lomelda), Tommy Read and with the help of Tobias Bank (drums) and Nathaniel Riley (bass). With more attention to the emotion and substance of sound than ever but with the same honesty Frail Talk has always valued, Microspirit touches on the landscape of the queer divinity in all things, and world speaking through bugs, dogs, sunsets and friends.

The album itself has already had a life in the time it’s been out, being featured on NPR Tiny Desk’s Top Shelf, getting multiple features from their video “little al” and landing singles its first two weeks on Spotify’s “Fresh Finds” and “Fresh Finds Folk” playlists.

Through the art of mashing folk-pop sensibilities with strange-space-synthetic-sounds, Frail Talk offers a landscape where one’s self, surrounding, and experiences are as much a part of the songs as the music itself. The future is bright for Frail Talk. It’s all love now.

Babytooth is Minneapolis-based singer/songwriter Isabel Zacharias, with a rotating cast of friends bringing the songs to life; the most recent (Portland, OR-based) iteration of the band has included Annie Fifer's earworm guitar leads as a constant, with Hugh Jepson on drums and Benson Chong playing bass. Elaborating on Pacific Northwest indie of the '90s, the songs skate between noisy melodic rock & twinkly folk experiments. With a debut full-length out now via Portland-based tape labels Bud Tapes and Antiquated Future, Zacharias continues to write intimate song portraits of distraction and awareness, aging and loss, and the dual joy and terror of being fully understood by others.
