The Frights

The Frights‘ video for “Over It” nods to the eye torture scene from “A Clockwork Orange.” In the spirit of this break-up song, frontman Mikey Carnevale is forced to watch his relationship on the big screen with eyes peeled open as periodic drops keep his peepers moist so he doesn’t miss a single second of the montage. The song appears on the band’s latest album, “Hypochondriac,” produced by FIDLAR’s Zac Carper (SWMRS, Dune Rats), mixed by Rob Kinelski (Ed Sheeran, Billie Eilish) and mastered by Greg Calbi (Arcade Fire, Tame Impala). The sound is crisp and sharp enough to feel every jab and strum as if it were one’s own.

“Hypochondriac” follows 2016’s “You Are Going To Hate This,” also produced by Carper, with amped-up post-hardcore emotional pounding. “The writing flowed pretty naturally,” says Carnevale, singer-guitarist for the Frights. “I went through quite a lot of bullshit since the last record … so, I had a lot to talk about. It’s mostly personal stuff, so I tried to make venting entertaining to listen to.” It’s all about the feelings.
