Written by me, pretending someone is writing about me

With Deviance (De-Vy- Ants) of the Void, Frillici takes a stab at the heart of songcraft, with featured vocal performance. For years, a restless experimenter, one who found expression in heavy ambient soundscapes, noise textures, and multimedia projects, his voice—once again a driving force—was shelved for a bit while time-traveling the galaxy in search of undiscovered sound and deeper versions of personal voice and sonic experience, learning new languages of musical expression, therefore the more typical vocal lyrical structure and performance not asserting itself as fully as it does again here. A conscious pivot: a return to the melody, layered harmony, the emotional resonance that comes from more traditional songwriting and recording art. Following the recent comeback of Rubberband, channeling the instincts into a vocal-led framework that feels fresh and celebratory.

Back to album stylings like 'The Witch's Elves Sing the Can Kicker Frog Licker', 'The Sun Comes in Circles', 3424 Homebrew', and '19th and Mission'.

And with a slight nostalgic 80s nod, Deviance of the Void is the unmistakable timbre of an original voice, rising back up into the center of the vacuum from the invisible clouds.

At its core, Deviance of the Void is fuzzed guitars, shimmering analog/digital warm chomp, familiar atmospheres, and melodies that revel in mini eccentricity. It wears its influences proudly, a solid nod to the lo-fi indie rock of the 1990s, the cracked pop sensibilities of bedroom recordings, and the mirrored and fractured grandeur of reanimated psych rock. Frillici (aka I, aka the OG Avatar, aka Creator of the Simulation...mine anyways) takes the grit and nostalgia of that era and infuses it with his own distinct vocal surrealism, creating music that feels suspended between eras, both grounded in tape-saturated past and propelled into a retro-futurist now. Harmonies pile high across buzzed licks, choruses bloom like impossible Mars flowers, and beneath it all lies the unmistakable voice and DIY heartbeat.

"Black Mirror" hinted at this synthesis—equal parts Flaming Lips' and the immediacy of late-night four-track recordings & some Sean Nicholas Savage vibes. With a Duncan Trussel singing voice. Acting!

The cover art and accompanying visuals are filled with surreal imagery that mirrors the sonic texture: nostalgic yet warped, crisp collages, handmade, and cosmically ambitious.

Throughout all of the 'Deviance' detours, the spirit remains exuberant, joyous, and punchy. Indie psych-pop refracted through Frillici's singular lens, carrying the scars of DIY noise and the dreams of a songwriter unbound.

From Rubberband to Deviance: Restamping.

Frillici's latest work builds directly on the foundation of Rubberband as a sequel. Where Rubberband sketched out a lo-fi palette full of promise and casual pop structural experimentation, Deviance of the Void is brighter, with more vulnerability and narrative purpose. More of a meditation on simple pop structure than probably any other Frillici album so far.

The raw Brician textures remain—the tape echo, the analog fuzz, the homemade feel—but they are now harnessed to amplify vocal melody, giving every chorus more weight and clarity. Now add the twisted Collaboration with Milarepo Man. (Frillici's AI side project band)

In duet, trading solos, riffs, rhythm sections, and arrangements.

This album represents a significant departure from the norm while maintaining Frillici's long-held ethos. You can probably hear it in the layers of the work. At its core, the project relies on vocal strength and lyrical presence, conveyed through an unconventional and singular delivery.

This album also represents the culmination of decades of DIY work, including running his own label, 38th Parallel Records.

Deviance radiates with a sense of play: psych-pop detours, guitar-driven bursts, extended instrumental solos, and driving wall-of-sound epics. Experimental edges are folded neatly into tight songwriting, creating an album with a strong narrative. A product of a career that has spanned drone, folk, avant-pop, noise, metal, and indie, now pitstopping a tapestry of melody and freedom. Yet another entry into the prolific sonic journal.

The cinematic ambiance here comes from an entire creative life, stitched into these tracks.

As he reasserts himself vocally, that vision is clear: an open space where nostalgia, innovation, and authenticity merge into vibrant, joyful deviance.

What is next? Because like... There most definitely is something.

"Um...next up is the darkest album every recorded in human history. Due out October 31st. Psychological Horror. Stay tuned vaccum!"
