(Independent)

Yes, track two is called ELECTRIC GRANDMOTHER.

This Frozen Star are a local four-piece dealing in multi-faceted indie rock, dragging their genre horse through the pop fields and then dunked into the alt-country trough, before drying off in some nice bluesy rock hay. Sounds like a fun time, and its reflected on this EP. The songwriting is quite solid and avoids the pitfalls of cliché suffered by other similar bands. The awesomely titled Electric Grandmother rolls in with stuttered drums and smooth bass line, with porno music wah-wah’s lending to the slick verses before a Gomez-esque rock chorus complete with some solid ‘Ooooohs.’ Steakhouse Lullaby is a surprising but fun country rock number that shows the bands versatility. Following The Traffic is energetic, swinging indie rock. False Idols is the strongest track, Mark Bretherton’s vocals stretch a little here and the results are favourable. While the tracks are conventional they’re executed quite well and are worth a go.
