- The mysterious Swedes will mix of Frak's rare recordings for Studio's Information label.
Known for their Balearic rock edits on their own imprint, Parlour are now set to do a mix for Information that consists only of rare and unreleased tracks from their long-time friends Frak.
Frak were present on the Swedish experimental synth scene throughout the late '80s and early '90s, and released a swathe of material. Most of this only saw the light of day on cassette, with the group bridging out to vinyl in the later stages of their career. Parlour have had a long-term connection to Börft, who released Frak's work originally, and are set to compile some of the rarer cassette-only material as a mix on Studio's Information label.
Parlour have spent hours going through all of the old Frak tapes, and have compiled the highlights into a continuous 57 minute mix that spans new beat, acid house and more minimal synth workouts. Spotters might be unhappy that no tracklisting will be contained, but with Frak anonymity was certainly part of the point and the compilation serves as a great introduction to their cassette-only material from 1988-1992.
