The Frozen North are based in Warsaw, Poland though members hail from Glasgow and Roscrea in the Republic of Ireland. The band formed early in 2014, and over the seven months they have been together they have certainly been very busy and productive, playing a number of gigs and festivals in Poland.

If comparisons with the likes of Mogwai, Godspeed You Black Emperor! and Sigur Ros are obvious, on the basis of their debut AA-single ‘Origin’/’Electric Mistress’ (which you can stream above, via bandcamp), they are richly deserved. For this week only, it’s available on a ‘pay what you like basis’ (i.e. you can download it for free, but a sextet have a lot of members to feed and clothe, so you might want to square it with your conscience, hmm?).

Get your mits on it, download it and play it loud. It’s absolutely lovely and it’s out through Too Many Fireworks.
