Frog Eyes Biography

Frog Eyes is an indie rock band from Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. The quartet is led by singer/songwriter/guitarist Carey Mercer and is known for their rigid, formulaic dance numbers, which pit Mercer's melodic falsetto whoops against an avalanche of guitar, keyboards, piano, and drums. Drummer Melanie Campbell serves double-duty as Carey's wife. They are Frog Eyes' only two permanent members.

Mercer's prior band Blue Pine released two records, although the second Blue Pine remained unreleased during the band's existence, instead being released as a bonus album appended to the reissue of Frog Eyes' debut, The Bloody Hand. Mercer also has a solo project, Blackout Beach, and has released two albums (Light Flows the Putrid Dawn and Skin of Evil) and one single on Soft Abuse. Different versions of three Blackout Beach songs appear on Frog Eyes releases.

Frog Eyes performed with Destroyer in live shows and on Dan Bejar's album Notorious Lightning & Other Works. This collaboration led to the formation of Swan Lake, a "songwriter's project" with Dan Bejar of Destroyer/The New Pornographers and Spencer Krug of Sunset Rubdown/Wolf Parade.

At the end of their European tour in 2008, Frog Eyes have announced that they are working on a new album.
