If you missed out earlier this year on the black watch’s Brilliant Failures (A Turntable Friend), have no fear, as John Andrew Fredrick and Co. will be back with 19th LP Fromthing Somethat on October 23 via ATOM. Fredrick and his revolving cast of bandmates have spent the past 32 years cranking out the kind of brainy indie rock that critics love but somehow never manages to find a bigger audience. And if you overlook Fromthing Somethat as well, Fredrick won’t care a bit. He’ll have album number 20 in the can, just waiting for you to ignore all over again.
