For those who are far too busy in the last weeks of the year, this is a suitable soundtrack to relax and refuel. The Frigidaires are an American surf/hot rod combo featuring Nick Bazemore (guitars, vocals), Brad Mattocks (guitars, vocals), Chad Shivers (guitars, vocals), Matt Steadman (bass) and Sean Zearfoss (drums), and their debut album Play It Cool lives up to its title. Although we are dealing with three guitarists who also share vocal duties, the album contains thirteen easy-going songs, partly instrumental. Unconsciously, however, you are sucked into the reverb-laden melodies and summery harmonies, and there are plenty of surprises to discover if you want to let your brain continue working a bit.
Play It Cool is out now digitally, on CD and vinyl LP through Otitis Media Records. Cover art by Scott Sugiuchi.
