Updates & News

 

Drawing deeply from the rich ore of new wave (think Tears for Fears), and pop-prog (think Alan Parsons Project) Lockhearted builds on Evan Frankfort’s sizable legacy in record production, film/TV scoring, and electronic and experimental sound design.

Indeed, the big-eared Frankfort has turned in outstanding work with Liz Phair, Pete Yorn, Plain White T’s, the Wallflowers, Warren Zevon, and many other industry greats.

ABOUT

In 1999, computer science pioneer Ray Kurzweil published “The Age of Spiritual Machines,” positing that the super computers that were being developed at that time would eventually develop souls and the impact that would have on the future.

A quarter century later, as we begin to comprehend the nature of A.I, borne of the legacy of Kurzweil’s predictions, producer/musician Evan Frankfort’s band The Spiritual Machines has embraced that narrative as a throughline for their new album, Lockhearted.

In The Spiritual Machines, Evan Frankfort shares vocal duties with Future Aaron who also plays bass and keyboards. Frankfort and Aaron have been friends for decades and have worked together on many projects, including Les Friction. “Aaron is the ringer singer,” Frankfort says, “and the muse that informs how I write melodically.”

Keyboardist Craig Owens brings virtuosity and a limitless palette to the band. He and Frankfort began playing together at age 12, built their first studio together at 15 and have always been musical soul mates. He has written countless themes for TV shows, including “Dance Moms” and “The Wendy Williams Show,” to name a few.

Rounding out the quartet is French drummer Matt LeChevalier. “We have been friends so long but so much had to happen for this moment to ripen,” Frankfort says. “All of these guys are incredible composers, multi-instrumentalists and friends. Lockhearted serves as a jumping off point for us all to collaborate however we are best able to serve the music.”

“We are loyal,” Frankfort concludes. “We will work tirelessly to improve the lives of our loved ones. We will sacrifice ourselves for what we believe in. We will make masterpieces. Because we love. Because we’re human no matter what shape we take.”
