His album 'frog song' dropped in February via K Records. Funkhouser discussed the song \"boxy volvo\" saying:\n\n“After five weeks on tour in the Fall 2023, I had built up a lot of ideas that I didn’t really know how to set into motion. Doing music for a living changes your ears, and the streaming format changes the way you categorize and relate to the music you listen to. I wanted to refresh my listening habits and rebuild my library of songs, as well as my guitar and singing chops. I wrote ‘boxy volvo’ that month, while my girlfriend Emma was out of town in New York. I met her in NYC, where she lived at 538 Johnson and drove this old boxy Volvo station wagon with thirty air fresheners on the rearview mirror. I made up the lyrics about the dice, cuz it was too hard to sing ‘thirty air fresheners.'”\n\nhttps://northerntransmissions.com/boxy-volvo-by-fish-narc/#google_vignette","location":1,"location_name":"Default","play_type":"trackplay"}
