"His new album currently being recorded is the dopest"

I like Freezepop. I saw them open for Cibo Matto at a movie theater in Somerville in 2001 and immediately wrote an "OMG U GUYS ARE SOOOO TALENTED" letter to the band and they were happy and then sent me everything they had ever been associated with, namely some chill electronica called Symbion Project and something called Splashdown, who later had a song on the Titan AE soundtrack.

Actually, they didn't even mail it to me. They dropped it on my porch and it was there when I got home.

Now that is fuckin' indie.

I remember I started listening to a lot of Lamb at that point, because one of the band members listed them as an influence. I didn't like them, but I listened to them, along with a drum n' bass cd from 1998 that I found in an alley or under a soda machine in the break room of Newbury Comics or something.

It is this:





"His new album currently being recorded is the dopest and has the wildest sounds around."



I would also like to note: "In the mould of Aphex Twin", "electro-grunge" and the phrase: "This drum n' bass tune is in full effect."

Alternative frequencies. Couldn't come up with a more 1998 name if I tried. Unless that name is: Lamb.

Fat, chilled out electronica? Manchester-based Billie Holiday-inspired vocals? And why? Because of you, Freezepop. I did it all for you.

Now, it's eight years later, and I just discovered that they put out a new EP. So. I will buy that.

I hear they are returning with some funky breakbleeps.
