"FROGGY'S": Now For EVERYONE! ... but what joy is this slow release these days! A new virtually homemade Little Wings album... for all new enjoyment. Plenty of pleasure spun into these new songs, plenty to sink one's teeth into.
Based on a now defunct restaurant in Topanga Canyon California, Froggy's in it's hey day was an inconsistent slap dash affair with some vibrant and rotten nooks and crannies, filled with gloom and haunted sound, mood and libation, much like this creation here. Originally built in 19*coughcoughcough* as the first Topanga Canyon schoolhouse and later bought and owned by Mr. Neil Young (don't know when doesn't matter) this seemingly cursed location has traded hands and been scam wise bought and resold many many times, but it's function never seems to stick.
The Froggy's songs were written in one morning in one sitting to test out a new recording device before we started working on PEOPLE. In addition to these one morning poems, Froggy's serves also as a generous container for outtakes i.e. beloved songs that came our way in the “same” way that any songs came but their timing was strange perhaps ("Wild Bamboo" "Camarillo By Morning" "What From The Sky" "Picture Me Grom") songs that came after "Explains"... more
