FREEZEPOP

The latest:

We’re in the process of making our 5th full-length album (and 2 bonus albums) after an amazing Kickstarter campaign. Things are coming along! We're also going to be playing some shows this summer, with some "special guests," omg.

And some backstory:

• We formed in Boston in the summer of 1999, a time and place where electropop bands were exceedingly rare.

• Released two homemade EPs, built a website, animated a video (these things were BIG deals back then, and it even got us a writeup in Wired for our DIY-meets-techy- goodness aesthetic).

• Our debut album, 2000’s Freezepop Forever, was released domestically on our own label, Archenemy, and licensed in Europe by the Spanish indiepop label Elefant.

• In 2004, put out our sophomore album, Fancy Ultra•Fresh.

• In 2008, after eight years of self-releasing our music, we partnered with Rykodisc/ Cordless Recordings for our third album, Future Future Future Perfect, and the single “Less Talk More Rokk” was the iTunes #4 dance/electronic song that year.

• The label experiment was cool, but we decided to return to self-releasing for our next album, Imaginary Friends, which went on to receive Best Album honors in the 2011 Boston Phoenix/WFNX Best Music Poll and Best Electronic Act in the 2011 Boston Music Awards.

• Over the years, we’ve been in a ton of video games, including cult favorites Frequency and Amplitude, and the massively popular Guitar Hero series, Rock Band, and Dance Dance Revolution.

• Our tracks have been featured on TV shows ranging all the way from PBS kids’ series Arthur to The L Word.

• We and our keytars have played a great many shows over the years. We’ve hit 4 continents, and even got to play at NASA once.

Some people have said nice things:

“How good is this new album? My ‘best of’ list was pretty much completed by early December, but after hearing this, I HAD to get it on my list.” — Last.fm

“A marvel, to put it mildly.” – BPM

“It’s the retro-futurism of Freezepop and their romantic, danceable, and perfectly crafted electro-pop that won our hearts." — The Boston Globe

“The electro pop quartet fuse delightfully danceable synths to warm ethereal vocals, making for a sound that’s as intelligent as it is infectious...Freezepop cook up the perfect hybrid of dance, pop and rock—while looking extremely cool doing so.” — ArtistDirect.com

“Whatever these sexy freaks are on – we suspect they knock back sugar packets before their hyperactive shows – it’s working for them.” – The Boston Phoenix
