FRAME deals with breaking up but not quite letting go on the disco-tinged pop of "State of Mind"

Taken from FRAME's debut album written in the wake of the break-up of a long term relationship and marriage, "State Of Mind" deals with nothing ever being simple, or entirely cut and dried.

FRAME (first name Caitlin) is very much influenced by the '80s on this track; you can hear snatches of ABC, The Associates and late-period disco, but it also draws parallels with the sort of music MUNA are making right now. A multi-instrumentalist, FRAME builds "State Of Mind" from elastic bass, stark piano and a vocal (which moves from flat sing-speak to delicious croon) that's strikingly individual. It swings and swoons in its own world of art pop, an utterly fascinating new voice.

As FRAME sings "Forever, forever in my eyes / Forever in this moment / Never asking why / Never asking" she's addressing her ex-wife, realising (in a moment of happy resignation maybe, or a creeping anxiety) that as much as you can end a relationship with someone, the letting go - in the words of Emily Dickinson - is the hardest part. There's something in the slippery rhythms of "State of Mind" which reflects the confusion of such a situation...unsettling yet enticing.

"Sometimes, when I'm dancing, the music feels like it's not just outside of me but within me as well," says FRAME of the song. "Maybe it has something to do with everyone else around me, feeling the same pulse and moving in sync, but it's very primal yet otherworldly, because you're truly out of your head. This song is about that feeling, we've all had it from something, for me it's that moment."

"State of Mind" is taken from the debut album of the same name, out 29 September via Concierge Records. You can pre-order the album here.
