“My songs are like little documents of my thoughts and feelings, I guess,” Fraser offers by way of summary. “I believe in music's power to chase away a number of things. I use music as a vice to deal with heaps of things in my life, good and bad. Sometimes it's just an avenue to deal with things, and sometimes it's a way to let things go. I can say whatever I want to say in my songs and let the words float off into the distance. They go on a page, and out of the anxiety, or whatever it is at the time that's strangling my heart.” He smiles again. “Sometimes it's not all that bad. Life changes pretty fast.”

With echoes of The Velvet Underground, Flying Burrito Brothers and Bob Dylan assimilated into a seemingly effortless musical voice of his own, young Fraser is an artist who connects directly with his listener, bringing laughter and tears, words of precocious wisdom and adolescent stupidity, ace lyrics, hot riffs – at root, the best of vibes.
