Album Review: Frost Children, Sister
Hyperpop duo's latest loaded with floor fillers. 7/10
The third album (or sixth, depending on what you consider canon) from the prolific Prost siblings bends a knee to the days when electroclash was briefly king. Something of a sonic love letter to a time when assembling your MySpace Top Eight and partying like Paris Hilton was all that truly mattered in the world, Sister is full of in your face, euphoric floor fillers for a post Brat landscape.
A record that sees the Missouri-bred musical magpies spread their wings, Frost Children’s latest dials back some of the guitar-driven indie, punk and emo elements found on previous LP Hearth Room and puts a stronger focus on beats, speaker battering synths and breakneck tempos. The explosive, Skrillex and Death From Above 1979 flavoured ‘Electric’ is a standout, as is the fiendishly catchy banger ‘Radio’ which features Kim Petras and is a hit in the making.
While Sister does suffer from a lack of self editing and would be more effective if a few tracks were either trimmed or cut altogether (particularly the plodding ‘4ME’) it’s still a fun listen that re-affirms Frost Children are one of the underground’s hottest acts.
7/10
