"Time Killers"

Frank DeFranco is a busy guy. Frank has a day job. He's a member of the trio that co-founded / runs NJ record label Sniffling Indie Kids. And he's in three different bands -- three different bands that I know about, anyway: NGHTCRWLRS, Holy City Zoo, and Fleeting.

It's Fleeting that we're here to talk about today. Frank plays bass for the NJ three-piece. The band also feature Liz Fackelman on vocals, keys, and trombone and Joe Scala on drums and vocals. They bring a big piano pop sound to the table; and you can hear it on "Time Killers," the first single from their upcoming EP, Are We There Yet?

The song is both epic and intimate, the piano building from quiet and jazzy to crashing along with the drums, horn, and shouted vocals. Fackelman declares her independence on lines like, "I've been patiently waiting for you to come and go / When all I'll ever need / Is staring right back at me;" and the song has that particularly personal feel that you really only get when someone is singing along with a piano.

Check out "Time Killers" below. Are We There Yet? is due in early June via Choke Artist and Sniffling Indie Kids.
