About

“Frontier Psychiatrist is that boy who was gangly and quiet in class but then, once you got him started, wouldn’t shut up about the physics of time travel and his parents’ old jazz cassettes and his speculations on why J.D. Salinger was such a hermit…and then, years later, you ran into him at the bar and damn if he didn’t look sexy in plaid, drinking his bourbon, talking about the most amazing new song he heard at this concert he biked to in Prospect Park –seriously, check it, vocals like the lovechild of Fiona Apple and Tom Waits born to a live reading of e.e. cummings.”

Frontier Psychiatrist takes its name from The Avalanches song.

We write about the things we love: music, books, food, and drink.

We also publish original photography, fiction, and essays.

We have a small staff in New York and Chicago and more than 50 contributing writers from around the country.

Some people call us FP. Some people call us Front Psych. It’s all good.
