Frost Children have announced their new EP Tweaker Poem, set for release on 10th July via RCA Records, alongside new single “Satellites” and an accompanying video directed by Lotus Blossom.
Written and recorded during a sleepless 24-hour period in Tokyo earlier this year, Tweaker Poem captures a moment of urgency and reinvention for siblings Angel and Lulu Prost. The project was born after the pair abruptly left New York City upon discovering they were being stalked, channeling the uncertainty and intensity of the experience into a bold new body of work.
Speaking about the inspiration behind the EP, Angel shared: “After dealing with a horrifying stalker in NYC we wanted to self-isolate and make a short project in one sitting fueled by sleep deprivation and discomfort. The songs on the EP are tracklisted in the order we made them, from morning until the next morning.
Tweaker Poem is an ode to psychotic obsession and transcendent admiration for an Idol— when love letters start to sound more tweaky and oddly spiteful than loving. The project sympathizes with and beautifies the dejected loner, the lover who doesn’t know how to read the room, too obsessed with maintaining a private fantasy to invest in reality. The tweaker, by our definition embodied by the possessive/obsessive laser-focused lover-weirdo, deserves to laugh and cry and have anthems, too.
These are hymns for Lovers who hypnotize themselves with faith when the world seems to frown and frown and frown at them.”
The duo have just wrapped up a co-headline run with Thaiboy Digital across Europe and will continue headline dates in Amsterdam, Zurich, and Vienna this summer, with venue upgrades in Manchester, Bristol, Glasgow, and Dublin as they round out their SISTER WORLD TOUR in the UK and Europe.
