‘Nextraterrestrial’ EP out now
Friday 23 August 2024
With pure joy, I gift to you my debut EP 'Nextraterrestrial'. I'm feeling very grateful and excited as I birth my first significant body of work into the world. I'm so proud of what this project has become and have poured my heart and soul into it since it's inception in 2022 until now. It's intended to be listened to from beginning to end, so you'll find track 8 is a continuous audio experience. I hope you find a moment to put on your headphones and be transported out of your daily grind, into another dimension as you ponder the unknowability of life, the universe, the depths of the ocean and the human heart.
‘The Heart of Spring’ has sprung
Friday 19 July 2024
This is my ode to love, capturing snapshots of time in the passing of seasons and lived memories. The first half of ‘The Heart of Spring’ was completed in 2021 on my laptop; those original home-recorded vocals and MIDI arrangements remain on the final track. But the magic lies in the second half; composed and recorded within three hours in the creative cradle of Rhythm Ace Studio. It's expansive, spacious and will surely take you on a journey.
‘Other Futures’ is here
Wednesday 5 June 2024
I have teamed up with the almighty jazz maestro Daniel Hayles for the second single of my upcoming Nextraterrestrial EP, writing lyrics and remixing his beat-centric track of the same name. The jazz that lies at the heart of us both shines forth in this song and melts into the realms of experimental electronica, hip-hop and lo-fi beats.
‘Odyssey I’ has begun
Wednesday 24 April 2024
I am so excited to present to you my first offering of 2024! The Odyssey has begun; you are hereby baptised into a new era. The third track off my debut EP Nextraterrestrial, this one is definitely for headphone listening. Close your eyes and imagine that you're submerged underwater.
New single ‘Cellular’ out now
Friday November 10th 2023
You may be expecting another four-to-the-floor dance tune, however I am breaking FK tradition, doing away with all drums for my most vulnerable song yet. Written during a four-day stint at the piano, the production uses only upright piano and analog bass as a sparse foundation for the vocal feature.
Radio Control Live to Air
With the help of NZ On Air, Radio Control 99.4FM filmed, mixed, edited and released this video of my live performance at Girls Rock Camp Palmerston North, October 2022.
RUNWAY OF REALITY
single + video out now
With an 80's darkwave dance club feel, a super catchy hook, a driving tech house beat with heavily syncopated vocals and a touch of Mulholland Drive, Frau Knotz presents her sophomore single Runway of Reality. This danceable darkwave track explores the corners of fashion and identity, chronicling the multitude of fads and phases we pass through in our lives.
SUPERNOVA HAS LANDED
A song of empowerment and encouragement, ‘Supernova’ describes the journey we go on to reach that point of confidence in ourselves. It encourages people to be fierce; to overcome their insecurities, celebrate their strengths and share their gifts with the world.
