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 mid-2020 Woodchek & Wright entered hibernation by way of total immersion into honest and intricate home recording, leading to their self-produced debut record, New Creation Myths, a movement through the personal and social mythologies seeded into humanity. Teaming up with drummer Tobias Bank (Whippoorwill and Sound of Honey) and bass/banjo player Nathaniel Riley, this album catalyzed Frail Talk to tour across the US, connect with thousands of listeners on streaming platforms, and even land a Top Shelf feature in the NPR Tiny Desk Contest.
In 2023, they embarked on a new set of dreams surrounding their sophomore album. Recorded in seven days of heat-sweat-friend-magic in Silsbee, TX alongside producers Hannah Read (Lomelda) and Tommy Read, this new collection of songs is anticipated to release in 2024 with more attention to the emotion and substance of sound than ever, and with the same honesty Frail Talk has always valued continuing to bleed through. Artfully planting folk-pop sensibilities in the same soil with strange spacey synthetic sounds, Frail Talk offers a landscape where one’s self, surroundings, and experiences are as much a part of the songs as the music itself.
