Track Of The Day Frank Rabeyrolles
Although a long-standing and prolific musician since the early 2000s, initially through the electronic-tinged monikers of Double U. and Franklin, with releases on DIY cult labels such as Sonar Kollektiv, Nocturne, Karat, and Plug Research, Frank Rabeyrolles is still a discreet and indecipherable presence in the French and beyond music scene.
Towards the end of 2011, Frank Rabeyrolles started to drop a solid streak of LPs and singles under his real name,
crafting an elusive sound oscillating between Experimental Pop, Lo-Fi Folk Americana, and Ambient.
Following his latest full-length, “In Conversations”, at the start of the year, via Araki Records, the Montpellier songwriter foretastes the forthcoming studio album, “Slow”, due in February 2026 via the Brest-based independent label Too Good To Be True, with the first excerpt, “All is in your head”.
A song about being stuck inside one’s head through a lens of sadness, grief, and outward searching.
Pulled by steady hypnotic drum beats and sinuously warm bass pulses, glistening guitars weave layers of slightly whispered bittersweet electricity, punctuated by wistful shiny keyboard drops, meandering somewhere between the cadenced and the soft, around dreamy, emotional male vocals and high breathy back-ups, imbued with a dazed Barrett-esque lysergic glaze.
