"Freezing Cold’s debut album, Glimmer, sounds like a lot of things: muscular art-rock, power-house emo, refined post-punk, and even mid-90’s alternative rock. One thing the album doesn’t sound like, however, is a debut. Glimmer comes to us confident, slick, and perfectly realized; the trio’s chemistry could not be more complementary. Maybe that chemistry is just a stroke of pure luck. Perhaps this chemistry comes from the Freezing Cold’s members’ collective history, as three friends working away in separate bands in the NYC DIY scene before coming together in 2017. Or maybe Glimmer is so good because of the band’s tireless work ethic and attention to detail. My guess is that it’s a combination of all of these things. Bold, but not overtly aggressive, Freezing Cold’s music feels like it was chipped out of granite slabs. The powerful rhythm section (Angie Boylan on drums, Nick Rice on bass) is the perfect strong underline to the vocal melodies and guitar (Jeff Cunningham). J. Robbins (of Jawbox) served as producer here, and his influence (or his discography’s influence) can be felt throughout Glimmer. These songs hit the listener in waves, groove after tremendous groove, but Freezing Cold’s relationship with the listener is never adversarial." - Post Trash
