Jun 23 - 29 2003 |
When
rival emo bands Meal for Oscar and The Mail Bombers
dissipated, a trio of fellas rose from the ashes and formed a
drastically different outfit, Frigid Sozi. The new agenda
was to work under the more ambient side of pop music, often letting
songs drift out to six minutes plus. This is their new demo, and
things are sounding pretty good for the new band.
The songs here are all quite catchy, although their loose,
drawn-out manner often results in the listener losing focus. In
essence, the tracks often work best as background music.
"Fiona," for example, has a nice sound, but is too
repetitive to capture the listener's focused attention for its entire
five and a half minute duration. "Vacation" and
"Where Were You," meanwhile, are the demo's best songs -
they are both solid, catchy tunes that overcome the repetition
problem.
While Frigid Sozi's songs may occasionally drift on for too
long, their demo is considerably better than what some signed bands
put out - hopefully a label will get a contract ready for these three
soon.
