Baby, This Changes Us
Frog’s new track “Je Ne Sais Pas” showcases polished 80s‑style songwriting wrapped in a lo‑fi, deliberately unfinished production. The song opens with a shocking line—“I want to fuck / I want to sick your duck”—before shifting to a witty, self‑deprecating portrait of a lovelorn loser. Its chintzy synths and bashed‑out piano create an artful, slacker vibe that feels both nostalgic and fresh. The single is available for purchase on Bandcamp, targeting indie‑music collectors.
