Frog Eyes The Open Up - The room feels alive on The Open Up, the follow-up to 2022's The Bees and Frog Eyes' 10th studio album. Not only is it alive, but you're in it with the Victoria-formed indie rock institution as they perform the 10-track opus live off the floor. There's an intimacy - a humanity - with which these uneasy songs take hold, sometimes facing the world with little more than singer-guitarist Casey Mercer's wiry warble, sticking to a staccato syllable like a hiccup, and a pins-and-needles post-punk guitar progression.
