Eilis Frawley

We welcome Eilis Frawley to Oxford 5 years after we initially said we'd do it - Eilis was one of the artists who was going to play our first ever Oh, Community! in April 2020!

The Australian-born musician finally lands in Berlin after a stopover in Seoul. As a classically trained percussionist, she has always found connections in queer communities and FLINTA band projects. Eilies has played in various well-known groups such as ‘Laura Lee & The Jettes’, ‘Party Fears’ and ‘I Drew Blank’, and plays currently with her own bands Kara Delik (Turkish post punk) or Restless (noisy punk).

Now, after several singles and two EPs, Eilis Frawley is releasing her first full-length solo album ‘Fall Forward’ with ten songs on 7 March 2025 on Sinnbus. The record was co-produced by Kat Frankie, who has long been a fan of Eilis Frawley. Together, the two artists have recorded a sophisticated, experimental indie album with influences from pop, jazz and krautrock. ‘Fall Forward’ is a unique cosmos of sound - innovative, clever and always stylistically confident. It is made up of present drums, experimental spoken word and layered vocals, sometimes spherical, sometimes playful synthesiser sounds and groovy basslines.
