frenjen is the music project of musician/composer Alex Nelson. frenjen releases music with mixed influences of rock and electronic music and as of recent Alex has been working on scaling back performances to a one man acoustic show. These one on one acoustic shows allow for a close intimacy with the audience and is known for 'crowd participation' moments as Alex encourages dialoge with the audience during the show, at times playing songs that the audience yells as requests or playing a song that the audience can sing a long to.
"frenjen's electric songs blend distortion and discontent with synthesizers; raw, raspy vocals with resonating melodies. The end result is a moody guitar driven sound comparable to Action Action, Beck, Cut Copy, Dinosaur Jr. and the Eels."
