The Frail is a unique musical project that combines electronic technology with the songwriting brilliance of Kevin Durr and the smooth falsetto of vocalist Daniel Lannon. The product is a flirtatious radio worthy electronica, with finely crafted musical core. The Frail follow a similar trajectory of current electro projects but draw on the accessible influence of multiple genres.
"Surprisingly cohesive for their audience debut, The Frail's performance hinted that bigger stages weren't far off. The band's dark and dancey electro sound could easily land them a spot opening for Bloc Party or Hot Hot Heat. Lights and smoke did help to create such an impression, but even without the showiness, their set was anything but frail. Hypnotic synths, breathy and falsetto vocals, crisp drums and pulsating bass pierced through the fog to create both a wistful soundscape like that of The Postal Service, and a heavier, more volatile design like that of The Faint. Once The Frail hones its stage presence and gets more comfortable in front of a crowd, everything will be golden; and until then, the slight awkwardness is endearing." -- Katherine Hoffert, Performer Magazine

"The Bay Area's The Frail are the perfect fix for anyone waiting for the next POSTAL SERVICE record, and oddly enough, this reference is actually fitting, as they met online, exchanging songs over the internet to create the original demos, like said Postal Service. The Count On This EP, is full of big electronic beats mixed with indie rock sensibilities, tipping their caps to HOT CHIP at times, then to DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE at others." -- Future Sounds
