Isle of Wight self-labelled DIY band, Froglands PK has released a brand new single, That's My Boy.
It combines lo-fi rock, psych and folk with a sprinkling of electronica, and it is the work of duo Fox Rawding and Max Perry.
Fox said: "The song’s a simple ode to old friends.
"I wrote it a few years ago and it’s changed forms a few times but settled into this version as we’ve played it live over the last couple years."
"It’s about the past, the future, the elusive line between familiarity and overfamiliarity," said Fox.
The songwriter and multi-instrumentalist is a member of enduring Isle of Wight favourite, Plastic Mermaids and he has been writing music since he was a teen.
In 2020, he released Goo Lagoon and Max played drums for it at a few gigs.
The pair met while shooting a video for singer songwriter Lauran Hibberd - Max was Lauran's touring drummer until last year.
Max's brother, Joe Perry, plays lead guitar for Coach Party and the drums for That's My Boy were laid down at the studio of Joe's bandmate, Guy Page.
That's the Isle of Wight music scene for you.
Together, Max and Fox have been writing in the latter's home studio by the sea.
They're thanking fellow musicians Craig Wheeler, Ruby Best, George Elliot, Finnegan Sandy for helping them get the new releases together.
Max says Craig was roped in to play bass after he popped round to pick up a phone charger.
Froglands PK cite The Flaming Lips and Bob Dylan among their influences.
They have already racked up a sold-out Isle of Wight show, a performance at the Isle of Wight Festival and mainland gigs.
Perhaps you know them as the go-to Christmas party band for Newport's Strings bar and venue?
About the development of That's My Boy, Max said: "It’s been great to take these tunes to crowds and give them a trial run in a live setting, tweaking them and then bringing that back into the recordings.
"We’re very lucky to have talented and lovely mates playing in the band, everyone just brings all the right ingredients for a good party."
