Release Notes:
Frigo's last album,Funambul. is not their trial
shot, as the band managed to book concerts and
release some EPs since they formed in 2000 in
Quimper (Ouest of France). Funambul was mixed by
Mario Thaler (The Notwist, Console, Lali Puna, Ms
John Soda, OMR, ). Frigo initiates some new
collaborations with Troy Von Balthazar (Chokebore),
Scott Mc Cloud (Girls Against Boys) & the String
Machine (strings for Brigitte Fontaine and Jacques
Higelin). Evolving in an off-centre modern
electropop, where nothing's really fixed as every
track seems to be made of 5 other ones, Frigo
studiously build a musical puzzle made of
simplicity, efficiency and sobriety as shown by the
artwork on the EP & LP sleeves. In order to make
that puzzle possible, simple materials are stored
in this larder where ideas multiply like bacteria
in a badly insulated fridge. Many tracks are
mountains of strain ready to collapse at any time,
penetrating voice that will chase yours at the
first occasion. Frigo makes ingenuity & minimalism
compete. Bright melodies, crystal-like guitar,
hypnotic drums, outerspace keyboards + electronica,
nearly-dark atmosphere & strange voices give Frigo
a unique sound.
