Frank Follows (lead singer and guitarist Adrian Bernhardson, guitarist Måns Ekholm, and keys player and producer Olof Victor) are set to reverberate through the indie-rock scene with their newest single ‘Hey!’. The new single explores lead singer Bernhardson’s introspective journey of discovering his voice, reflecting a new sense of sincerity and openness. The track’s foundation lies in a smooth guitar riff that morphs alongside those expressive lyrics, while a steady drum line anchors the track beneath its light, airy choruses. With an irresistible hook and enchanting harmonies, ‘Hey!’ radiates a cheerful, infectious energy, all the while embedding a profound narrative of vulnerability and self-awareness within each refrain.
As the band’s singer explains: “This song is a shout into the void hoping to get an echo. It’s the selfish need to be heard, to be understood. When the vertigo from all the things flashing by gets unbearable, what else can you do but yell: ‘Hey!’”
This Swedish trio is carving out fresh musical paths, presenting an earnest, energetic, and buoyant soundscape. Their debut album, Flight Thoughts, was a seminal release, establishing their presence in the Swedish indie scene. Influenced by artists like Bombay Bicycle Club, Bon Iver, Dayglow, and Phoenix, Frank Follows seamlessly fuses these eclectic influences into a sound all their own. With more gigs on the horizon, and the release of ‘Hey!’ imminent, the band is poised to elevate their status as an exciting act to watch this year.
