mp3 premiere: "Fourth Grade" - Frizzy

Frizzy is the side project of one seriously talented Madison Klarer, who you may know from her work with ROMP. Frizzy is something completely her own, in sound, identity and form. "Fourth Grade" is the first single from an upcoming tape release, and it's solemn, subdued and heartbreaking. The whispered vocals, the quickly paced strum of guitar are all a backing to a most poignant story.

This song is about my realization that someone young could die. My best friend and neighbor growing up passed away in the fourth grade and I had a really hard time understanding how someone my age could die. This is also a cool accomplishment for me because I wrote it on the guitar and it was my first time doing that.
