Toronto’s Frigs Share Politically Charged New Single

Rising Toronto post-punks Frigs today share new single “II” – a politically inspired cut from their forthcoming debut LP Basic Bahaviour, set for release Feb 23 via Arts & Crafts.

Speaking on “II”, frontwoman Bria Salmena says: “‘II’ was written shortly after a catastrophic political event that took place about a year ago. However, it does not solely reflect that one event but everything leading up that has allowed for it to happen, and everything that is to come because of it. I truly hate that I even wasted energy thinking about this person let alone wrote a song about it.

Has anything ever happened that made you wish the reality we live in is a simulation? Wouldn’t it kind of be a relief to know it’s just the doings of some disgusting internet troll in some alternate universe? That’s what this song is about.
