Description:

Frost: Aggie Peterson (vocals); Per Martinsen (programming). Producers include: Per Martinsen, Royksopp, Nils Petter Molvaer. Audio Remixers: Qwerty; Mental Overdrive; Ryksopp. Norwegian electronica duo Frost makes pleasant light pop that could float away like a feather at any moment. Their debut, Melodica, holds promise, but too often the songs rely on the same lightweight framework and become hard to separate. Vocalist Aggie E. Peterson has an attractive, breathy delivery and Per Martinsen`s layered backgrounds are well built. "Running Boy" and "Amygdala" both have enough good ideas to make them distinctive, and a guest appearance from trumpeter Nils Petter Molvr makes "Klong" exciting. Otherwise, Melodica turns into sonic wallpaper, both pleasing and ignorable. The remixes at the end are all worthwhile, and suggest Frost could benefit from more outside help. ~ David Jeffries
