No Frills- Sad Clown

On Sad Clown, No Frills sharpen the rough-hewn charm of their debut, pairing jangly, VU-by-way-of-Silver-Jews melodies with delicate orchestral flourishes that feel both homespun and ambitious. Recorded in loose sessions at Toronto’s 500 Keele and fleshed out with basement-layered synths and strings, the album glows with a bittersweet intimacy, capturing the absurdities of life in perfectly ramshackle harmony.
