Over the course of their releases, the sibling duo behind Frost Children, Angel and Lulu Prost, have created a sonic vocabulary distinctly their own with their trademark punchy vocal delivery and simultaneous electronic grit and glimmer. Previous releases from the duo have been expansive in their exploration of genre and philosophical hyper-online subject matter, but have often left much to be desired in terms of directional coherency. SISTER is a new type of Frost Children album; it is an aesthetically focused and curated celebration of the full spectrum of human connection. Paying homage to 2010s electronic with aggressively euphoric builds and drops that will leave the listener yearning for a sweaty club under strobe lights.
The first single off the record, “Falling” is a straightforward summer anthem. With a chorus making earnest use of the word “shawty,” this song was made to be sung at the top of your lungs in a jeep with the top down. Other tracks from the record like “Position Famous,” “ELECTRIC,” “CONTROL,” and “Bound2U” follow a similar danceable sonic trajectory but are nonetheless intoxicating in their own right.
“WHAT IS FOREVER FOR” is a heater, taking the listener headlong into the crushing weight of yearning. This song possesses the delicate and emotionally dense fusion of happy-sad that truly only a banger of this calibre is capable of. Title track, “Sister,” is a brief portal, plunging us into the summer glow of their memories with a juiced electronic twist. “Blue Eyes” and “2 LØVE” shine in their simplicity. “Blue Eyes” is deliciously synth-driven with pop-punk-inspired vocal delivery that evokes electronic indie sleaze bliss.
“2 LØVE,” on the other hand, feels like Frost Children’s answer to Avicii’s “Levels.” All in all, Sister is a collection of certified Frost Children classics that implore the listener to stop overthinking and get sweaty on the dancefloor.
