Salesman

About Me


STROKING:
Salesman's sound is cinematic and lyrical—SWEETHEARTR could be in Swedish and I would still enjoy it. The unsettling lyrics, however, complete the album. I find myself repeating "2nd Time," an eerie, redemptive lullaby... When Fry creaks out the words "no one's gonna fuck you around," the f-word feels dirty again.
-Chris Benz, the Alaskan
At our latest border crossing:
Homeland Security: "What is this razorblade for?"
D.fry: "Cuttin up bibles."
Homeland Security: "........."
"Fry shows that he knows how to create a mood with just a few carefully chosen elements... as a songwriter, he could be dangerous."
-Greg Kot, Chicago Public Radio and the Chicago Tribune
"Moody and mesmerizing sound drenched in harmonies..."
