█ █
█ The Freezing Atlantic, the debut album from █
█ Aberdeen City, has a lot in common with The █
█ Bends/OK Computer-era Radiohead, although I █
█ merely use that comparison as a stylistic █
█ jumping-off point more than anything else. The █
█ Boston quartet doesn't so much sound like █
█ Radiohead per se as much as it tends to evoke █
█ the same things that made the first three █
█ Radiohead albums so special. To begin with, █
█ Aberdeen City has singer Bradley Parker, who █
█ possesses that rare ability to make your hair █
█ stand up on the back of your neck with his █
█ sweeping, almost crooning vocals. The man is a █
█ singing fool. Secondly, the band successfully █
█ counters its often experimental tilt with a █
█ seemingly endless well of hooky choruses and █
█ sophisticated melodies that gives the tracks on █
█ The Freezing Atlantic an easily palatable form. █
█ █
█ The band, consisting of J. Ryan Heller (guitar), █
█ Christopher McLaughlin (guitar), Robert █
█ McCaffrey (drums) and Parker (bass/vocals) has █
█ an uncanny knack for finding the right moments █
█ of sheer orgasmic, melodic release amid a bed of █
█ lyrical and musical tension that occasionally █
█ sounds so claustrophobic, it's like you're █
█ afraid to breathe. Normally I would hesitate to █
█ describe a band's songs as "anthemic," but in █
█ the case of The Freezing Atlantic, I use that █
█ word in the most complimentary light possible. █
█ These are songs on a grand scale, crafted yet █
█ still retaining a visceral element that keeps █
█ the album and the listener alike on edge. █
█ █
█ This mixture of ugliness and beauty is perhaps █
█ best executed on In Combat, a song that finds █
█ singer Parker struggling to come to grips with █
█ issues of personal responsibility and failing to █
█ come through for people when they really need █
█ you. "I lost them all in combat / I sold them █
█ out" he sings before adding, "No one visiting is █
█ my punishment for backing out". In Combat has an █
█ almost epic quality but the ache it describes █
█ keeps the song grounded and relatable. Parker's █
█ lyrics are all too human, dealing with things we █
█ all go through; that includes a lot of things █
█ we'd all rather forget. As he describes on █
█ Pretty Pet, "Sometimes regret makes a great pet/ █
█ you hit the target". █
█ █
█ Producer Nic Hard (The Church, The Bravery) adds █
█ a subtle production that only steps up when █
█ needed, and he's done a great job of balancing █
█ the many elements that comprise The Freezing █
█ Atlantic. All around, this is an excellent album █
█ that offers something for everybody. If The █
█ Freezing Atlantic is any indication of things to █
█ come, Aberdeen City could well turn out to be █
█ every bit as innovative and challenging as █
█ Radiohead. A stunning debut. █
