Artist description VON FRICKLE is a musical Exploration, combing odd time signatures and bizarre tones for a one of a kind sound ranging from ambient space jams to experimental rock to atonal noise riffs. Musical comparisons match influences including King Crimson, early Pink Floyd, 1970's Miles Davis, the Residents and Frank Zappa. The music of Von Frickle is often referred to by fans as ultra-weird science fiction soundtrack music, as it would suit the tastes of modern day directors David Lynch or Jim Jarmusch - there is an oddity in the music that fits well with those of odd taste! Rhythmically aggressive and melodically surprising, Von Frickle is unlike any band you have seen before. A trio that can quickly turn quirky complicated riffs into a haunting, melodic groove leaving the listener wondering what's coming next. See it to believe it this avant-garde and freely improvised musical ensemble.

Albums

Press Reviews Illinois Entertainer -Chicago- Von Frickle's bag of tricks may not be for everyone, but an open-minded listener should find this synthesizer-based band's Feeding the Organic Computer CD very entertaining. "Bullet Brain" harks back to 1970's jazz with its energetic horns arrangement, and "Mysterious Mr. Wong" is reminiscent of vintage spy movies. The melodic "Scary II" builds an ominous mood through synthesizers and percussion, in contrast to the child like "Crableg Man." The album closes with a pair of slow ambient tracks , "Drone " and "Chemtrails." I highly recommend this album to those who crave the truly unique.
