Through 2012, I'll be working on a project called FRONZ ARP IS A TINY CROOKED ORCHESTRA in which, instead of releasing a new CD, I'll be writing, producing and releasing a song at a time throughout the year. Here's the latest song

LP - RELEASED 2011On WHAT STRANGE MACHINES, released in early 2011, I wanted to explore the fringes of the dynamic, theatrical and often-abrasive writing style I've developed. Also, the album was completely self-produced, recorded and mixed on a minimal budget in the houses and bedrooms he has lived in recently (sorry for the noise, house-mates). It was a real journey of discovery for me, with the intention of pushing boundaries from start to end. WHAT STRANGE MACHINES seems to be shocking and entertaining folk all over the place (which entertains me)
"With brilliantly diverse musicality, Arp’s versatile vocals and the use of less conventional instruments such as the kazoo and the ukulele, Fronz Arp is not afraid to be adventurous" TRAXX RADIO
"These guys are weird! I think I’m in love!" HOSS THE BOSS
