Fryars details God Melodies album and shares new cut "Orange Juice"

"Orange Juice" is Fryars' second single of 2021 after January's title-track "God Melodies", and will appear on Fryars' new album alongside last year's "Quail’s Egg No.1 In C Sharp Major" and "Virtual Reality Games" featuring Rae Morris.

Fryars says of his latest release, "This next song is "Orange Juice" in which I tell the story of receiving an awful diagnosis, not confiding in anyone and then going out on the town solo to drown my sorrows. Juice is off the menu. A Miami driving anthem to blast in the Uber. I don’t care who’s gonna drive me home now I’m on my own."

God Melodies will follow Fryars' 2014 second album Power, and was created in Fryars’ London home studio with wife Rae Morris and The High Llamas' Sean O’Hagan.

Fryars says of his upcoming album, "People often talk about music being cathartic, that we use it to work through our sadnesses. But it can also be used as a preservative for joy and the small things that pass us by. We don’t acknowledge happiness enough because it’s really hard to admit when you’re happy and it often doesn’t make other people that happy either! But joy translated well into music has an inflationary effect. That’s what the record is all about really."
