The implicit affiliations are manifest as female\u2014the other who is seen but not heard. God Hates A Coward explores feminist geography from a spatial standpoint, expanding the relationship between landscape and architecture, a spherical way of approaching a discourse that has become rooted in deconstruction rather than reconstruction.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Watch <em>God Hates A Coward<\/em>\u00a0via YouTube below.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QtJXAuVYa1o?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-CA&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>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\u2019s unshakable.<\/p>\n<p>Led by the force of Bria&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>As members of Toronto&#8217;s multi-disciplined Heretical Objects Cooperative, community and collaboration are essential to FRIGS&#8217; 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, &#8216;Slush&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-21550\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/FRIGS_DIGITAL_2_zpsaew8yoxl.jpg?resize=203%2C203\" alt=\"FRIGS Slush EP cover\" width=\"203\" height=\"203\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/FRIGS_DIGITAL_2_zpsaew8yoxl.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/FRIGS_DIGITAL_2_zpsaew8yoxl.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/FRIGS_DIGITAL_2_zpsaew8yoxl.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/FRIGS_DIGITAL_2_zpsaew8yoxl.jpg?resize=144%2C144&amp;ssl=1 144w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/FRIGS_DIGITAL_2_zpsaew8yoxl.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 203px) 100vw, 203px\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Track list:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1.
