Frictionless Man

About Me

Frictionless Man is a two piece band playing original acoustic pop music. To find out more visit:www.frictionlessman.co.uk
"wonderful reminiscent of an apartment somewhere between where David Byrne started stoking Talking Heads and Gorden De Gano decided that traditional, electric instrumentation was for unimaginative lemmings."

- Adam Walton, BBC Radio Wales

"The music scene in Wales at the moment is like a strange elephant's playroom, full of gigantic horrible cardboard origami. The Frictionless Man have no truck with elephants. They are not horrible. But they will be gigantic, one day. The best band writing the best songs currently at large in Wales."

- Rhys Hughes, Author of "A New Universal History of Infamy"

"Frictionless Man are less a band and more of a conceptual partnership borne out of creativity, musicality, and love of darkness. The word duo does not do them justice whatsoever; as the words and music cauterise beautifully the moment they are played. A must see for all those who love their music interesting, dark and itchy. Recommended."

- Huw Rees, King of Despair, Henry Martin's Ghost

Song gone on

I have just put "Night" from our first CD on here. Its from back when we were a 4 piece, but is closer to how we sound now than anything else we did. Hope you enjoy it.

Recording is on it's way. 11 days until we record it and then, hopefully, it should be on here soon after. I'm excited anyway.
