Frost Children

Frost Children represents the collaborative work of New York City siblings Angel and Lulu Prost, who generate restless, constantly mutating pop by pulling together threads from dozens of unrelated musical traditions. The pair assembles textures that feel simultaneously playful, cryptic, and absurd while pursuing wide-ranging genre experiments. Their 2023 album Speed Run shifted from '90s R&B textures to melodramatic mall punk within single tracks, whereas the companion album Hearth Room employed more organic production yet continued to pivot rapidly between sounds as the duo uncovered new shapes for their unexpectedly hook-driven pop.

The project began in 2019 while Angel attended school in the Bronx and Lulu studied music in Nashville. Their earliest recording was a hyperpop cover of Fall Out Boy's "Yule Shoot Yr Eye Out" that featured pitched-up, Auto-Tuned vocals, buzzy synth lines, and chopped "Amen" breaks. In 2020 the siblings returned to their hometown of St. Louis and continued developing Frost Children material during the early COVID-19 quarantines. Their first full-length release, the noisy and chaotic Aviation Creates Adventurous Beginnings, arrived in August of 2020, followed the next year by the more pop-friendly Elixir Rejection. After these mixtape-style projects, Frost Children moved back to New York and issued their studio debut, Spiral, in April of 2022.

Their second album, Speed Run, appeared almost exactly one year later and contained guest appearances from May Rio, EXUM, Blaketheman100, and others. After Speed Run the duo released remixes of its tracks by artists including Parker Corey and Galen Tipton, and before the end of 2023 they announced plans for Hearth Room, a companion album recorded around the same time as Speed Run. Hearth Room used less digital production than its counterpart and was released in November of 2023 on the True Panther label.
