Frege es un cuarteto mexicano formado en el 2014 en NYC por el tecladista: Rafael Durand; el baterista: Victor De La Garza; el cantante, guitarrista y bajista: Sebastián Garrido; y el bajista y guitarrista Daniel Ávila. Producido en la ciudad de México y Nueva York, toda su música ha sido producida, grabada y mezclada por los propios integrantes de la banda.
Frege estrena “Centerpiece” con La Chica Belleville como cantante invitado. El sonido de esta nueva entrega es fresco pero obscuro, rítmicamente complejo pero bailable. Baterías minimalistas pero llenas de trampas, guitarras percusivas que recuerdan a la simplicidad repetitiva pero sincopada del afrobeat, bajos llenos de silencios que, por momentos, dan sentido a la intrincada estructura rítmica y voces llenas de melancolía que narran una extraña yuxtaposición entre tres motivos: sueños oscuros, la vida solipsista y las relaciones amorosas.
lyrics
You're the centerpiece
And I'm laying in my room
I hush to hear you breath
I can't hear you but you're here
You compare me to everyone you've met
and I'm not in the mood
I keep getting those bullshit texts
and this is far from appealing, far from exciting
I wanted our moon
You keep sending me pointless cues to stay
Stand on the edge, I'm free
Lying to myself, I see
The olden dusty road
Is my go-to place to be
You compare me to everyone you've met
and I'm not in the mood
I keep getting those bullshit texts
and this is far from appealing, far from exciting
I wanted our moon
You keep sending me pointless cues to stay
