"When Angel and Lulu Prost were kids in St. Louis, Missouri, they played in a family band at church on Sundays. Now the twin tricksters make music so aggro it could jumpscare the pope. Frost Children's new album, SISTER, is packed with tracks that sound devised in a VO2 max lab to push people into excruciating physical exertion. This is a duo who grew up on brostep and Krewella and have spent their career shitting on taste boundaries."
"SISTER throws back to the era of Mad Decent Boat Parties and EDC livestreams on desktop YouTube. This is music for mammoth festival grounds, a post-ironic pastiche of the early 2010s. Frost Children dial the rickety rollercoaster of EDM pop to Kingda Ka chaos: ecstatic rises and drops of death. Some tracks need NSFW warnings, because they'll make you wanna smash your desk: "Electric" summons an earth-shakingly thunderous bassline and "Control" throttles with the furor of a cyborg firing plasma beams out of its eyes/"
Angel and Lulu Prost are a twin duo from St. Louis who transitioned from church band kids to aggressive electronic producers. SISTER features high-octane tracks designed to provoke intense physical reaction and channel festival-scale energy. The record draws heavily on early-2010s EDM tropes, Mad Decent boat-party aesthetics, and brostep influences while incorporating hyperpop oddities and spoken-word experimentation. Standout moments include explosive singles like "Electric," the ferocious "Control," and the relatively fresh-sounding "Ralph Lauren." Production emphasizes thunderous bass, chaotic drops, frenetic percussion, and synth squelch, aiming for maximal dopamine hits and crowd-conjuring euphoria.
