Frights

Hypochondriac Frights Standard edition

'Hypochondriac', the third full-length album from San Diego band The Frights, is an album full of addictively catchy songs about fear and frustration. "I've gotten better with time, but I'm pretty paranoid about most things, especially health issues--I think everything's killing me," says Mikey Carnevale, vocalist/guitarist for The Frights. "That, mixed with anxiety, means that I can be a real baby. All of these songs address this in one way or another."

Produced by FIDLAR frontman Zac Carper, 'Hypochondriac follows' The Frights' 2016 album 'You Are Going To Hate This' and marks a period of major creative growth for the band (which also includes bassist Richard Dotson, drummer Marc Finn, and guitarist Jordan Clark). "I wrote every song on an acoustic guitar, which is something I made a point to do," says Carnevale. Throughout 'Hypochondriac', The Frights build a brilliant tension between their shiny hooks and painful lyrics, their goofball spirit and melancholy outlook. In the end, the album unfolds as their most emotionally honest work so far, just as the band intended it to be.
