Layers and Frames
An electronic/world/folk duo
Layers
And Frames is a Philly-based duo offering a refreshing blend of guitar
loops, chill, world, downtempo and folk music. It is the musical
brainchild of Frederic Brewer, a French-American singer-songwriter who
spent four years in China, served in the Peace Corps and developed a
signature sound reflecting the globalized world. Frederic leads with
vocals and looped guitar while pianist extraordinaire Mack Zoolick lays a
foundation of keys, synth bass and vocal harmony.
