    Somehow, Spotify scrobbles this band as Guiyefrayo and not Guiye Frayo. Not very good. But the music is excellent! Love the quirkiness!

    I really like these typically untypical time-travelling tunafish. They have some really brilliant tracks here that stand out from the crowd. I think my favourite is The Walk but they're all different and brilliant. Guiye Frayo sounds like Galifreo to me. So perhaps all they need now is a Tardis to help them get their tracks heard across time and space.
