Local Phonies Release New Album ‘Static Prismatic’

Local Phonies’ new album, Static Prismatic, is the newest standout moment in the 20-year journey of Jon Fricchione and Conor Garrison. Best known for their work in bands like Blank Brothers and Intranational, the duo has crafted a record that blends modern folk, psych rock, and electronica in a way that feels fresh. Inspired by bands like Wilco and Andy Shauf, Static Prismatic takes listeners on a ride with its mix of smooth melodies and raw, gritty musical moments.

The album is more than just a collection of songs—it’s the result of a deeper creative partnership. “Even when we were kids messing around with guitars in exurban basements, we dreamt of crafting cohesive, genre-bending albums like this one.”, they explain. And Static Prismatic feels like the fulfillment of that dream.

The album’s themes focus on the temptation to shut yourself off from the real world and live in a space of your own making. The songs explore isolation, and the struggle between staying connected or retreating inward. The album showcases the energy and mood of the band reconnecting in the studio—from writing to mixing, every step was done by Local Phonies themselves, adding a personal touch to every track.

Static Prismatic is an album that invites you to dive in, offering a start-to-finish experience that showcases the latest progression in Local Phonies’ catalog.
