Pia Fraus
release
“Now You Know It Still Feels The Same”
out on September 1^st 2021

Recorded to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Pia Fraus debut album Wonder What It’s Like, this compilation-album features the tracklist of the 2001 album, played and recorded again this year. These songs were written between 1998-2000 in the early period, when the band members were youngsters aged sixteen. Now, more than twenty years later, you can still hear and feel that confused, sweaty but dreamy teenage vibe. The feeling of a period when most things happened by accident.
Formed in 1998 in Tallinn by six art school students, Pia Fraus sublimely mix dreampop, subtle shoegaze and beautiful electronica, blissfully topped off with shimmering layered male-female vocals.
They released six studio albums: Wonder What It’s Like (2001), In Solarium (2002), Nature Heart Software (2006), After Summer (2008), Field Ceremony (2017) and Empty Parks (2020), plus a handful of EPs and singles.
Some highlights of the 23 years since the band formed include working with Teenage Fanclub’s Norman Blake, who produced their 2008 album ‘After Summer’, and the 7″ vinyl split single ‘Mute The Birds / Ships Will Sail’ with Ulrich Schnauss.

The band has shared the stage with the likes of Ulrich Schnauss, Animal Collective, Frida Hyvönen among others, touring Japan, China, Taiwan, Canada, England, Scotland, Ireland, Poland, Latvia, Sweden and Finland.
Now You Know, It Still Seels The Same is out on 1st Sept via Seksound (worldwide), distributed by Darla Records in the USA, Playground Music in Scandinavia, and Shellshock Distribution in the UK. It will be available digitally and on limited yellow vinyl, green vinyl, black vinyl, and Compact Disc.
