Queens lo-fi lifers spinning humanist coping-mechanism songwriting into country-tinged indie pop, one Frog record at a time since 2013.

Every song gets

  • Its music video, from YouTube and Apple Music
  • A biography researched from cited sources
  • A door into Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal and YouTube Music
  • Instagram Reels and Stories, made for you

How it works

Bring whatever you subscribe to: Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal or YouTube Music. Share a song and it opens in your friend's app, with its video and story. Every song becomes Instagram Reels and Stories too.

  1. Listen: any music app.
  2. WOKE1: your station.
  3. Every song, enriched: video, story, links.
  4. AI agents: open brace JSON close brace, json-ld, llms.txt. Read every page.
  5. Friends tune in: each song opens in their own app.
  6. Reels and Stories: made for Instagram, every song.

Share your music finds with friends, whatever service they use. The iPhone app plays each song in their own Apple Music, Spotify, Tidal or YouTube Music, and it is coming to the App Store.

    Send a song as a personal bundle of music, video and images that anyone can open, whatever app they use.

next

  • Song Drops from the iPhone app.

    The same sharing, built into the new iPhone app.

  • Merch and tour dates on artist pages.

    Shown only when they really exist.
