fey rey & freedom sound
Imagine that Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska had been written in Jamaica Plain in 2012. That record would have been made by fey rey & freedom sound.
FR&FS is the brainchild of Regina Peterson (the Points North) and Laura Smith (the Woodrow Wilsons). Joining forces after the various fragmentations and hiatuses taken by their previous bands, these two songwriters have joined forces to write haunting, memorable folk songs fitting for long, late night drives or summer evenings on the back porch. Their vocal harmonies float eerily over the steady melody of their instruments, drawing listeners in like the gentlest of sirens.
Sometimes featuring Kate Lee (Gracious Calamity, Peace, Loving) on drums and Chris Logue (SWAY) on bass, FR&FS have become darlings of JP. Their EP “Gestation” is available through Bandcamp, and they can be frequently be found playing at the Haven, and other venues across the city.

WFR077: WFRFRvol2 : Are You In Paradise? (LP)
I can no longer prolong the greatest moment of my life. I cannot afford to be afraid of the long silence. Of the after after. The people that populate my bedroom have become too real. My option is every door, every sun and mountain of night. Our options are in people. Honest voices are doors. I have stopped trying to control the narrative. To prescribe the reality of self. Not sleep until ending. Not sleep until climax. I am awake now. I am awake now. I will stop trying to wake up and I will walk out the door and I will see in a way that listens. This moment will be a kingdom of yes simply in the naming. It was always a choice. It was always a way of seeing. I am in Paradise.
