Frailty

Frailty is the debut studio album by American musician Jane Remover. It was released through DeadAir Records on November 12, 2021, under her former stage name, Dltzk, before she retired the moniker in June 2022. The album was supported by the release of three singles: "How to Lie", "Pretender", and "Search Party". Background In a 2022 interview with Pitchfork, Remover stated that she chose the album's title because, "I think "frailty" means both weakness in the body and the mind. A lot of the experiences I talked about [on the album] happened during a time when I was physically and mentally not well". In a 2023 interview with The Fader, she described the album as "walking in your neighborhood the morning after you graduate high school, when it’s sunny and a little bit cold". Recording and production Frailty was recorded in Remover's childhood bedroom. She had to wait for her family to leave the house before recording vocals for the album. Remover produced the entire album using FL Studio and an acoustic guitar, although she didn't know how to play the guitar prior to making the album. She recorded one string of the guitar at a time, using a "learn-as-you-go" recording process. The album is intended to sound pixelated and noisy, like a Nintendo DS video game soundtrack. Remover accomplished this by using a bitcrusher to lower the audio resolution to become "charmingly fuzzy".
