... well-written songs with great melodies... you can begin to understand why this is such a cool album.

Product Description

The summer of '99 was a hot one in Boston. Many fruity frozen treats were consumed. The only way to relieve the heat was to form a synthpop band, so that's what we did. FREEZEPOP is the union of Liz Enthusiasm, a stylish songstress with a cute chihuahua and mob ties to The Archenemy Record Company, the Duke of Candied Apples, programmer extraordinaire of the qy-70 and bound concubine to the Symbion Project; and the other Sean T. Drinkwater, a powerhouse of synths and vocoder, who is often confused with the original Sean T. Drinkwater (of Lifestyle and Archenemy Record Company fame), but is actually his genetically-engineered clone. FREEZEPOP were born out of the glory dayz of synth bands like Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode, and the Human League, but we have our tentacles wrapped around the future. All the FREEZEPOP songs are programmed on a yamaha qy-70, a portable handheld battery-powered sequencer.

5.0 out of 5 stars They are the chosen ones, August 28, 2002

Freezepop's music can heal. I had a painful burn that went away after I touched the speakers out from which "Science Genius Girl" was pumping. The blippy beats and lo-fi, high concept goodness also helped my cat. He had this fear of my new couch. But when "Tender Lies" was playing, he seemed comfortable approaching it. Now he and the couch are good friends, all thanks to Freezepop. I have friends who say they've seen Freezepop walk on water. No kidding. It was on that river that runs through Boston, whatever it's called. And they've healed lepers. And there are three of them. THREE. Think about it - if the godhead were to come to earth, wouldn't he appear as a trio of whip-smart, deconstructed versions of 80's pop icons? I think you can put it all together. Buy this album, and win the approval of the deity. So let it be written...so let it be done.

5.0 out of 5 stars Synth Pop Genius Girl (and Boys), June 2, 2003

This CD demonstrates why they won US Synth Pop Band of the Year award. Synth pop is their canvas, and they are masters of their art.

They have a touch of genius about everything they do - the 80s style lyrics and vocal tones, their awesome synth sounds, the clothes they wear, even the self-made flash videos on the website. All done with a hint of retro comedy running through everything.

This CD will put a smile on the face of any synth pop fan.

Gotta love a band who makes most (all?) their music on a tiny Yamaha QY70. Those who complain the record is cheesy and thin sounding miss the joke frankly. The band is having a lot of fun but at the same time obviously is able to write some killer tunes. Warning, if you are a musical diabetic and think Radiohead has sold out then you will probably not get this record. But if you like pop with some wit and cleverness, dive right in!!!
