Ben Garrett, aka frYars, is a skinny, wavy-haired 20-year-old London-based singer-songwriter with a Roxy swagger, and whose velvety baritone sounds like it's emerging from someone twice his age and stature. FrYars is quite the charming little electro-misanthrope himself. "What a wonderful world," he croons darkly over the DIY clatter of Chocolate with all the sincerity of an oleaginous psychopath. Then there's the chorus to Ides, which goes, "You should have died that very night/Good job for you I wasn't born a killer," while on Happy he merrily warbles, "Do you sometimes wish your siblings were miscarried?" He goes on to argue that evil is nothing more than a social construct. Well, he's got a point. Wonder what his gran makes of all this - actually, she sings backing vocals on Happy, so she can hardly be some easily shocked, blue-rinsed old dear. FrYars the one-man-band also got help for the recording of his Ides EP, which sounds tinny and cheap yet plucky and poignant, from Robbie and Max of Cajun while the producer was Luke Smith of the sadly defunct Clor, whose Good Stuff was the ninth best song of 2005.
