Album Notes & Community Reviews

Announced as a satirical concept album, 'The Count' represents one of Frog's most ambitious and eclectic projects, centered heavily on piano rock. The record incorporates elements of hip hop into the duo's indie pop and folk sensibilities, exploring themes of sexuality and loneliness with a raw, humorous, and often vulgar lyrical approach. Its mysterious and lo-fi production frames a narrative that is both quirky and deeply personal.
