Bill Deville
“This album is a charmer. Frank writes such sneaky good songs that are real and authentic. I’ve been a fan since his Sycamores days.”

—Bill Deville, Host of United States of Americana from the Current

Peter Jesperson
“When I hear music that's clearly made by an artist who's doing it for the love of music, and for the love of making music, it's just so inspiring. This album is beautifully recorded and played. Some great songs here that deserve to be heard by many!”

—Peter Jesperson, Co-Founder, Twin Tone Records

Jim Walsh
“Frank Randall's new songs come from a wise, weary, wonderful worldview that sound like they've been waiting to hatch for years. A timeless and hopeful record that plays great early mornings/late nights and all hours in between.”

—Jim Walsh, Author/Songwriter

David Biljan

    Frank in the sun

    Frank Randall is a Minneapolis-based singer-songwriter, guitarist, and record producer best known as the leader for the indie-rock band the Sycamores. After releasing three acclaimed albums under the Sycamores moniker in the 1990s, he continued to write and record new music—but rarely performed live and only occasionally released his work. 

    One of the Minneapolis music scene’s best-kept secrets, Randall has often been lauded for his evocative songwriting, understated guitar style, and singular voice. His first full album of original material in over 20 years, Some Distant Saturday.
