   About Fictionist



"[Fictionist is] my new favorite local band and literally, probably the most talented band I've ever heard in Salt Lake." | Jon Tueller, co-owner of Graywhale Music

"On their Website Utah’s Fictionist observe “Life’s meaning finds form as we rearrange this ancient noise,” though judging by the local sextet’s new album Invisible Hand “ancient noise” might refer to a revolution in sound dating back just three or four decades. Fictionist wrap their record in psychedelic interludes containing little of the dark, droning vibes driving works by contemporary psych-rockers The Warlocks and The Black Angels. Invisible Hand rather leans toward the sunnier, groovier end of the spectrum with soaring guitar solos topping a pile of tasty instrumental glitter—strings and moog, loops, handclaps and the occasional toy—creating an atmosphere mixed with late ’60s/early ’70s AM radio and brooding British rock (Travis comes to mind). Besides their music, Fictionist are fast gaining a reputation for being utmost professionals celebrated by festival organizers and audience members alike. Experience them in an intimate setting before they start selling out arenas." | Jamie Gadette, Salt Lake City Weekly

"With six members in its fold, this Salt Lake City outfit sees endless possibilities in their sound, and they do a stunning job of realizing those visions...The sum of all the parts is grand, but it's never busy or overwhelming, and the same can be said for the rest of the record. These songs are mapped out exquisitely, with each player knowing his role, whether it be in a rhythmic vamp or a death-defying solo." | CD Baby Review of Invisible Hand

"Simultaneously energetic and introspective, [Fictionist] nourishes the ears & the soul with attentive songwriting and beautifully crafted musicianship." | DJ Frederick, WSCS 90.0, New London, NH

"A glorious wall of post-pop ecstasy...a high-energy vocal romp that stands up to the best modern indie music...Utah's Fictionist show that they have the chops to stand out." | Doug Cornell, HitSession.com

"I consider it an act of extreme good luck that I got to see this band because they’re pretty amazing...The real kicker, comes when they launch into their set, which includes several songs that swirl into a six-man psychedelic blow-out evocative of Oasis five minutes into Champagne Supernova...If they keep touring and playing as well as they do, there’s really no end to what they could accomplish." | Ronatron.net

"I had Fictionist play at my festival, International Pop Overthrow, during our recent Los Angeles showcases. I found them to be extremely talented, poised, and armed with intense, sophisticated, cerebral pop songs. I would be happy to invite them back to the IPO festival next year." | David Bash Founder/CEO The International Pop Overthrow Music Festival

FRIZZ RECORDS is proud to announce our fourth LP release...

London-born with a heritage both European and Ghanaian, LEILA ADU was brought up in New Zealand, and is now based in Rome

She has been described as 'A Nina Simone for the Noughties', and her two acclaimed albums infuse a broadly 'art-rock' approach with elements of torch song, speakeasy blues, avant garde jazz, gamelan, the post-rock textures of Slint and Tortoise, and a David Lynch style dreamlike b-movie melodrama. As her website has it, exploring the "dissonant edges of familiar forms", but with that kind of 'dissonance' that they once accused Thelonious Monk or Debussy of, the kind that soon betrays it's own compelling melodic and harmonic logic to the attentive listener...

'Dark Joan', Leila's third album as a solo artist, was recorded in Chicago with the legendary Steve Albini (PJ Harvey, Joanna Newsome, Nirvana, Pixies), and Albini's genius has been to strip her sound back to it's essence, and hold it's most distinctive qualities up to the light. It doesn't hurt that this is by far Leila's most powerful set of songs to date, and if anything we are lead even deeper into her world by the pictures painted with just piano (or in some cases harpsichord or a grime-encrusted electric piano) and that voice...

Capable of anything from delicate heartbreaking purity to a fearsome dramatic power, her powers are seemingly limitless, yet unlike most other singers of her calibre, never does she resort to melodrama or show-boating, or any kind of pastiche, instead she employs her resources fully in the expression of her distinctive musical vision and the deep well-spring of her imagination. Nothing ever sounds as though it could have not been sung...
