Release Notes:
Salon.com once called Frisbie, "One of the best and
most ambitious pop bands in America." One listen to
New Debut re-affirms that praise. New Debut is the
long-awaited follow-up to The Subversive Sounds of
Love, a critical darling that cast Frisbie as power
pop saviors. (The Chicago Tribune's Greg Kot called
it "the power pop album of the year.") Frisbie ended
their fall 2000 tour with a personal invitation to
open two shows for Wilco. This was the latest in a
long list of exciting shows for the band, including
gigs with Cheap Trick, Matthew Sweet, Big Star,
Guided By Voices, Old 97's, Marshall Crenshaw and
Tahiti 80.
A series of personal trials delayed a follow-up, but
now, Frisbie has released New Debut, a 40-minute
burst of imaginative and affecting songs. While The
Subversive Sounds of Love was rooted in the pop of
the 60's, New Debut reveals a love for the guitar
rock of the 70's. So much happens in these
three-minute tunes as producer Matt Thompson breaks
out the harmonic density of every song. Frisbie
still boasts two of the finest singers anywhere, yet
the emotions of their soaring vocals are more deeply
revealed in the unexpected rhythms and timbres of
the music. In short, New Debut will kick you in the
head and the pants.
