Toronto-based four-piece FRIGS is celebrating the release of its latest EP, Slush, with a stream of the entire record via DIY Magazine. Released today via Arts & Crafts, Exclaim! gave the four-song EP a glowing 9/10 review claiming “If this is a taste of what's to come from FRIGS, consider our appetites well whetted, ” while DIY Magazine simply called Slush “a brilliant brainfreeze.”   

FRIGS is made up of Bria, Duncan, Lucas, and Edan. The band pairs the raw, emotional grunge of PJ Harvey with the immersive, psychedelic post-punk of early Sonic Youth. With each member bringing a unique set of influences, FRIGS creates a sound that is hard to pin down and an impression that’s unshakable.

Led by the force of Bria’s vocals, the band has earned a reputation for putting on a hypnotic and visceral live performance. Embracing the mercurial and experimental, their shows are built upon instinct; a vocal growl can unexpectedly give way to a hushed whisper; languid drones boil over into guttural and searing tones.

As members of Toronto’s multi-disciplined Heretical Objects Cooperative, community and collaboration are essential to FRIGS approach and aesthetic. Maintaining the communal, do-it- yourself spirit of their forebearers, the band bought recording equipment and turned their Toronto apartment into a studio where they wrote, engineered, and mixed their forthcoming EP, Slush.
