Frazier Chorus were a pop group from Brighton, England. A pop group without the usual guitarist, bassist or drummer; they instead utilised flute, clarinet, bongos and hushed vocals.

History

Originally a four-piece, they signed to British indie record label 4AD and released the single "Sloppy Heart" in 1987.[2] Shortly afterwards they moved to Virgin Records, and achieved reasonable chart success with a string of melodic pop songs about Dream Kitchens, Living Rooms, Happy Eaters and Little Chefs, all taken from their 1989 debut album, Sue.

With the emergence of the indie-dance scene in the early 1990s the band changed tack. Singles from their second album Ray were remixed into indie-dance floorfillers by a number of top remixers, including Paul Oakenfold, Chad Jackson and Youth. The band were restyled from the fey indie pop band of 1989 into an act more like The Beloved and If?.{{Citation needed|date=December 2010}}

Singer Tim Freeman released a third album billed as Frazier Chorus (Wide Awake), which did not reach the UK Albums Chart, although it was released years after Ray on a small independent record label, while Kate Holmes moved into electronica via the bands Sirenes, Technique, and Client.

Tim Freeman is the brother of actor Martin Freeman.

Tim's brother Jamie Freeman was in Frazier Chorus's touring band, but only appeared on their third studio album Wide Awake, contributing guitars on all but one track.
