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\u2019s 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 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 size-medium wp-image-21972\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/FRIGS_DIGITAL_2_zpsaew8yoxl.jpg?resize=300%2C300\" alt=\"FRIGS Slush EP cover\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/FRIGS_DIGITAL_2_zpsaew8yoxl.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/FRIGS_DIGITAL_2_zpsaew8yoxl.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/FRIGS_DIGITAL_2_zpsaew8yoxl.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/FRIGS_DIGITAL_2_zpsaew8yoxl.jpg?resize=144%2C144&amp;ssl=1 144w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/FRIGS_DIGITAL_2_zpsaew8yoxl.jpg?resize=120%2C120&amp;ssl=1 120w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/FRIGS_DIGITAL_2_zpsaew8yoxl.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tracklist<\/strong>:<br \/>\n1.
