There’s something so homely and strange about Frog Throat’s latest piece ‘Women’s Jeans’. The New York City based folk outfit craft such a melodic and endearing piece that screams intimacy and family while also bearing within it all a larger idea about what it means to grow up and take on the mantle of your parents. ‘I’m wearing women’s jeans’, I’m wearing daddy’s shoes’ he sings along to a jangling acoustic melody that puts the whole of it in place.
Written in 2019 while grappling with a severe state of anxiety that had the songwriter grappling with the world possibly collapsing at any moment, ‘Women’s Jeans’ becomes a song that kind of grounds you, keeps you rooted, and has you feeling at home while the world around you seems to be floating all away.
