Music For Frogs (12in Black Vinyl)

Music for Frogs has been six years in the making. It’s a storied album of a pursuit of self belief, community, and love out from the swamps of grief and anxiety. Through landscapes ecological and musical, there’s moments of joy, humour, and catharsis sprouting in balance of the delicate and scrappy.

Made in part at the 104 year old Torbay Hall with a slew of adored collaborators and friends, playful production meets lush instrumentation and driving grit. Visually, the record has been brought to life by illustrated animation and the communally constructed dioramas that adorn the cover artworks. The record is a testament to DIY dedication and its unique achievement.

New Nausea are an indie rock band from Walyalup (Fremantle) Western Australia. Their music draws from a broad range of tastes, including folk, country, alternative rock, and post-punk, all woven around songwriter Albert Pritchard’s humorous and emotive lyricism. Their first album Fountain of Struth garnered the band a strong hometown following and received a nomination for WAM’s Album of the Year alongside WA giants Tame Impala and Spacey Jane. 2026 sees the band releasing their long-awaited second LP Music for Frogs. This playful-sounding record is in turns joyous and devastating, as it follows a journey of self-acceptance against the backdrop of a profound loss. The fact that the band has supported the likes of Jessica Pratt and Jebediah hints at their emotional range as artists and performers, at times gentle and reflective, at others explosive and exciting, they are always engaging.
