“Identity Thief“ by Frogmouth

“Identity Thief” by Frogmouth is a grungy rock album with captivating arrangements and compelling narratives that are sure to get you on your feet. This four-piece band hails from Austin, Texas, blending their talents together to create effortlessly impactful songs. Their nine track album draws you in from start to finish as electric guitars whine and unrelenting drums march. 

The opening track of the album, “Easy Lies,” immediately gets in your face with heavy guitar riffs and chaotic drums. This chaos mirrors the conflicting emotions in the lyrics. The narrator sings “I’m on the outside looking in” and “I love to fall for my own lies,” showing how untethered he feels to his life. He feels like an observer of his own life, and can’t seem to believe the words he tries to use to reassure himself. A riveting electric guitar solo carries you through the second half of the song, gliding over the energetic drums and thrumming bass. The dynamic melodies and shifts in intensity hold your attention the whole time, reminding you of classic rock songs that have become iconic for their instrumental sections.

Another standout track on the album is the closer, “Long in the Tooth.” Low, tense bass and staticky guitars build the backbone of the track as the impassioned, gritty vocal pounds its way through the song. The interplay of the instruments throughout the album showcase the clear artistic vision and the impressive musical chemistry that the members of Frogmouth have. With this album, they cement themselves as a rising act to watch.
