Victoria, British Columbia, quartet Frog Eyes are the antithesis of their still Canadian settlement. Utilizing the carnival atmosphere of Rain Dogs-era Tom Waits, the phrenetic vigor of vintage Cramps, and the diabolical scheming of pre-Bump off Ballads Nick Cave, the post-punk corporate created an atmosphere of psychedelic uneasiness with their 2002 full-length debut, The Bloody Hand. Lead vocalizer Carey Mercer, world Health Organization mined interchangeable territories in his previous group, Blue Pine, leads the indie rock ensemble, which as well includes Melanie Campbell, Grayson Walker, and Michael Rak. In 2003, after the vital success of Hand, the group released the enigmatical Golden River on the Animal World label, resulting in some other flurry of raves and a fresh minted fan base. They signed to Absolutely Kosher the following year and released their strongest book to date, the explosive and magnetic Folded Palm, as well as the lo-fi acoustic EP Ego Scriptor. 2006 saw the freeing of Bloody Hand, once more on Absolutely Kosher, followed by Tears of the Valedictorian in 2007.
