Somewhere in the vaporous glow of post-rock heaven, all good bands
will have their ungainly mortal brains replaced by the optimum
frequency modulation. Fridge, thankfully, won't be one of them, too
happy rambling through all the permutations of their minds to
relinquish them for hard-edged perfection.
Collecting together the trio's singles to date, these two discs
highlight their quietly confident insularity. From a distance, it's
teemingly diverse - the calypso ripples of 'Astrozero' replacing
Teutonically approved dots and loops, the scabrous jazz scales of
'Fisa', the Add N To (X) nightclub nausea of 'For Force' - yet
close up, they have a lovely precision. Unafraid to call a simple
harmonic motion 'Simple Harmonic Motion', it's a slow, time-lapsed
world they create; 'Anglepoised' blossoms over 15 blissfully
rhythmic minutes, while 'Sequoia' traces a silvered violin trail
over sparse, subspace dub.
Can you handle the excitement? No really, can you? Because there's
something profoundly exciting about Fridge. It's that same
intangible sense of excitement that rivers and great buildings
inspire; something so fundamentally thrilling and basic that it
affects you without even trying, that you don't realise it until
it's already happened.
Tortoise, in their infinite, arcane wisdom, induce wonder in the
listener by naming a track 'In Sarah, Mencken, Christ and Beethoven
There Were Both Women And Men'. Fridge, somewhat less terrifyingly,
call one of their songs 'Concert In Your Home'. 'Sevens And
Twelves' is that friendly, that immediate, but the windows are open
on a world of possibility.
