Editorial Reviews

Before Four Tet was remixing Radiohead and Coldplay and before Adam was playing with David Byrne and Fairport convention, they were breaking new ground as Fridge, a trio formed in 1996 with fellow schoolmate Sam Jeffers. After 3 critically acclaimed albums, they're back with THE SUN, their most celebrated album yet. It's a dense, aggressive record that casually blends post-punk, left-field funk, free jazz, folk, noise and Krautrock into one sound that, despite the years and each individual's development, is unmistakably trademark Fridge.

    I wish I could give it 4.5 stars. I think the music is very well written. Each track is different from the previous by using different instrumentation. Good sound quality. I believe it is all home recorded. :)

    After enjoying "Happiness" I wanted to explore more of their work, but alas, their cretive talent has waned. This music is disjointed, uninspired and difficult to listen to. I will sell this CD to recover a portion of my loss. Not recommended.

    When I listened to The Sun for the first time, I immediately fell asleep. This may sound like an insult, but it is far from it! It was the best nap I've had in a while.

    The album starts off with its title track, a drum-driven opener that is moved along by an ancient sounding whistle that resembles the noise that would pour out of a spaceship. The song blends into the second track off the album, "Clocks," which takes a while to speed up to its smooth rhythm guitar and dreamy xylophones that are reminiscent of the band Tristeza. It's hard to not make a comparison, since both Fridge and Tristeza lack vocals and rely primarily on guitar driven harmonies. The only track on The Sun that includes any sort of vocals is "Lost Time," which has a build up drums and piano accompanied by the harmonized humming of the band.

    The only fast paced song on the album is "Eyelids," with its thick bass lines and teetering guitars. It jolts the album forward but strays away from its originally soft, yet drum heavy, sound throughout. Overall, The Sun is the sort of album that you could easily not have an opinion about. I'm still unsure whether I love it, but I do know that there is something about it that I like. It's the kind of album you could listen to at night and will lull you to sleep (in a positive way).

    Fridge returns with _The Sun_, another foray into the complexities of post-rock. So even while the title track sounds skeletal -- percussion, flute and feedback -- it segues into the more melodic "Clocks" and the understated "Our Place in This." The drum machine, piano chords and electronic squeal of "Comets" propels us into outer space, but in the overall album, something seems to be missing. Sure, the country twang of "Years and Years and Years..." is lovely, but the same sense of discovering beauty and sustaining it just doesn't seem to be there. Maybe it just got momentarily hidden by the sun.
