"Frank is enormously engaging, uproariously funny and faintly terrifying. It's hard not to feel that if he doesn't become a pop star it will be pop music's loss". The Guardian

Frankmusik's pop music is beamed in from the neon lights and hover-bikes of a dystopian Pacific Rim Metropolis. 'Blade runner pop' is how he describes it and with its rushing synthetic synths and lightspeed vocals, you can imagine Frankmusik AKA 22 year old Vincent Frank performing to replicants in a dive bar in the shadow of the 700-storey Tyrell Corp complex.





Speeding along at 145bpm both tracks are under the influence of Frankmusik's misspent youth in the suburbs of South London listening to jungle and drum and bass. 'In Step', conversely, was written in the grip of youthful depression and insecurity. Vince quit his degree in product design at the London College of Fashion to focus on music, feeling at one point that all he had was 'my computer and my nightlife - I was freaking out'. Like all the best British pop, Frankmusik remodels the dull stuff of everyday experience and machines it into glistening, majestic fantasy - universal emotions in hyper-colours. Producing all his tracks himself, Vince is a new whirlwind force in the accelerated UK pop landscape.

He's a fluent self-taught pianist. He's started his own label to put out his debut release, Apparent Records. He's done his own artwork for the release, as well as his own video (go to youtube to see the awesome clip he put together with a couple of friends and a flashing hula-hoop). In his downtime from DJing, he's remixed 31 other indie bands over the last year, produced 2 tracks for grime prince Tinchy Stryder and is working as a producer for a new act called Sisley. Meanwhile, he's taken his bedroom stems into the studio with Jacques Lu Cont AKA Stuart Price, the man that co-produced Madonna's 'Confessions On A Dancefloor


B-side 'Done Done' is about an ex-girlfriend who 'tore my heart to pieces' through infidelity. It aches and soars with teenage tenderness, like M83 if they were in-thrall to 80s British pop. Vince grew up on a diet of his Mum's 7" collection; ABC, Thompson Twins, Julia Fordham. Having just stepped off the Wonky Pop tour supporting Alphabeat and with a Sam Sparro support tour lined up, Frankmusik is stepping up to his destiny as the soundtrack to all tomorrow's summers.
