Synopsis

Album Description
Hip enough for hipsters but nerdy enough for nerds, Freezepop are back with a new batch of songs that you won?t be able to get out of your head. Their second full-length album, Fancy Ultra?Fresh, builds upon the minimal electropop of their past releases, with an edgier, fuller sound. With songs ranging from the aggressively dancey "Parlez-Vous Freezepop?" to the hushed "Outer Space," to the cheeky and blippy "Stakeout," Freezepop have introduced new sonic elements to their repertoire, while remaining true to their catchy synthpop roots. Fancy Ultra?Fresh, which also includes video and interactive multimedia content, will be released by the Archenemy Record Company on May 18. Formed in 1999, Freezepop is the union of Liz Enthusiasm vocalist/fashion plate), the Duke of Pannekoeken (programmer extraordinaire), and the Other Sean T. Drinkwater (synths/vocoder/wacky hijinks). All the Freezepop songs are programmed on a Yamaha QY-70, a handheld battery - powered sequencer. Their debut album, Freezepop Forever, was released domestically by Archenemy in 2001, and was licensed for worldwide release by Elefant, a Spanish indiepop label. The band have also released several EPs of new material as well as remixes by the Future Bible Heroes, Soviet, Stephan Groth (Apop/Fairlight Children), and more. Freezepop have songs featured in four Sony PlayStation2 video games, including araoke Revolution, Frequency, and A mplitude.

"I'm in my thirties and was lucky enough to experience the whole "new wave" movement - - pre-goth, pre-industrial,pre-most of what is considered "alternative" today in general - - and I couldn't be happier that the really cool sounds from back then are returning. Synth-inspired music has always signified, to me, the future, hope, happiness, and possibility. FREEZEPOP has bundled all of of what was positive and fun about 80's electro-pop and crammed it into short, quirky blasts of candy coated melodies and laughable lyrics that make you smile at their total lack of seriousness. Look around, relax, life is short and if you don't stop and be and feel goofy once in awhile, you just wasted a bunch of oxygen. Buy this CD and everything else FREEZEPOP (shirts, stickers, buttons), wear mis-matched shoes, make up new words, write poetry and hug your pet. FREEZEPOP has made life good again."
Four and a half stars, actually

"I am an absolute sucker for synthy music of any kind. It just does something for me. But until Freezepop came into my realm, I had considered the European giants like VNV Nation and Apoptygma Berzerk to be the definition of "synth pop". But with them, it was all so serious and didn't really fit into what I thought of when I heard the word "pop". Freezepop manages to keep everything I adore about the so called "synth pop" of Europe, but puts a wonderfully playful spin in their music and lyrics (and I should mention, as everyone else does, they're from Boston). FUF has all kinds of catchy tunes, while the lyrics manage to be the epitome of what I think of when I hear the word "pop", and yet is still light years better than your typical pop on the billboard charts here in the states these days. I suspect future albums will be five-star worthy by me, as they just feel like they're on the verge of a giant creative discovery. Some would argue they've already found it, but I see a ton of potential yet to come..."
