Buy SISTER from Amazon
Frost Children's latest record Sister sounds less like an album, and more a playlist being blasted at some 2011 beach rave; like being 13 again, watching Monstercat videos for hours. Most of the songs have the intensity of an opener, diluting their power and impeccable production; by the end, the drops and tonal shifts don't hit as surprises. Actual opener, Position Famous, pairs 2000s pop-emo chanting to the most maximalist Avicii-style chords.
Frost Children's music is thrillingly unpolished, and while the hyperpop duo--siblings Angel and Lulu--are in their 20s, their songs boast an alluring adolescent snottiness. They're nostalgic for a time when Nickelodeon, EDM festivals, MySpace, and Vice magazine somehow felt like part of the same culture, before social media completely took over, but they approach this romanticized notion of the recent past without irony. Their sixth studio album, Sister, feels surprisingly innocent, curious and excited by technology rather than dazed and numbed by it.
