Today, Toronto-based band Motorists dropped the music video for “Frogman.” The track serves as the second single from the band’s upcoming album Never Sing Alone, set for release on March 6, 2026 via We Are Time.
Breezy and effortlessly charming, “Frogman” delivers a soft jangle of alt-rock pop that feels light on its feet and instantly inviting.
About the track by Motorists:
“Frogman” traces its origins to an uncanny moment on Vancouver Island, where frontperson Craig Fahner unexpectedly encountered a scuba diver who emerged from the water holding his snagged fishing lure.
“After struggling to dislodge it for a few minutes, someone in a scuba suit emerged from the water with my stuck lure in hand. He swam up and handed it back to me, then went back into the water and disappeared.
My dad remarked “that Frogman saved you!” The incident, and my dad’s exclamation, stuck in my head for months after.” Fahner recalls.
Fahner’s obsession with the Frogman resulted in this song, which is, to put it simply, about a person whose lover decides to leave the land-loving life and live underwater as a Frogman.
“On another level, it’s about the abruptness of loss, of looking into your empty hands wondering where the thing you were just holding went, and whether your life will be the same without it.
Musically, we tried to find a similar melancholy aura, leaning into a lush and jaunty jangle-pop feeling which Chris Cohen’s production really brought into its full sparkling glory,” says Fahner.
