"Frog Eyes are an indie rock band from Canada. The quartet is led by singer Carey Mercer and is known for their highly idiosyncratic songs, which pit Mercer's unhinged vocals against a swirling mass of guitar, keyboards, and drums. Drummer Melanie Campbell (also Mercer's wife) notably uses a 'found object' as part of her drums set, the so-called 'pinger.'

Frog Eyes performed with Destroyer in live shows and on Dan Bejar's album Notorious Lightning & Other Works. They have played shows with Xiu Xiu, Wolf Parade, and The Mountain Goats. Excerpt from the Pitchfork review of The Golden River: 'This album seems to exist in a world apart from our own. From Melanie Campbell's insistent, simple, and often strangely cartoonish drumming to Carey Mercer's fantastical lyrics and overwrought delivery, The Golden River taps directly into your imagination, short-circuiting any traditional notions of what should constitute 'sincere' and 'emotional' music. These songs are the lost soundtracks to those frantic, epic dreams that you can never remember in their entirety, but stay with you for the rest of your life.'"
