Emerging from the success of his previous releases, ELMAR (the solo project of Grammy-nominated artist Jack Froggatt) unveils his highly anticipated third single, ‘So Familiar’, ahead of his debut album ‘Beneath My Skin’, set to drop on 29th November 2024. Following the atmospheric journey of earlier singles such as ‘At Your Feet’, this new track delves deeper into themes of connection, memory, and the comforting nature of familiar relationships.

With ‘So Familiar’, ELMAR offers a tender and introspective composition, seamlessly blending delicate acoustic elements with his signature atmospheric production. Lyrically, the song captures the powerful emotions of rekindling a bond that feels as though it has always existed, evoking both nostalgia and serenity. 

Speaking to the intention of the record, Jack shares “I just wanted the closer of the record to feel like you could just listen to that on loop forever. I wanted a song that had a beautiful string section. I hadn’t really played too much with an acoustic guitar solo situation and I thought it was an interesting thing. That’s where I started as a musician, all those years ago. This was a bit of a nod to that.”

The track exemplifies ELMAR’s evolving sound, marrying organic instrumentation with subtle electronic undertones. As Froggatt continues to explore emotional vulnerability through his solo work, ‘So Familiar’ serves as both a personal reflection and an invitation for listeners to reconnect with the people and experiences that anchor them.

ELMAR represents a new chapter in Jack’s artistic evolution. Born out of a desire to reconnect with his own musical vision, ELMAR is more than just a project—it’s a sanctuary, a place where Jack can escape the noise and rediscover the joy of creation. The name itself, ELMAR, is a nod to both Ernest Hemingway’s ‘The Old Man and the Sea’ and the iconic Café Del Mar compilations, drawing inspiration from Jack’s lifelong love of the ocean and surfing culture.

Over the years, Jack has garnered critical acclaim and numerous accolades, including a Grammy nomination and multiple Gold records for his work with Mansionair and collaborations with Odesza, Dom Dolla, and Rezident. Now, with ELMAR, he steps into the spotlight with a sound that is distinctly his own—one that is steeped in reflection and bathed in sunlight.

ELMAR’s latest single ‘So Familiar’ is now available on all streaming platforms, with the debut album ‘Beneath My Skin’ to be released Friday 29th November 2024.

Jack will be performing the ELMAR debut album for the first time with a full band at The Vanguard in Sydney on Friday 13th December. Tickets are on sale now.
