INTRO (LIL INTERNET)

Welcome to New Models Greenroom. On this episode we’re joined by siblings Angel and Lulu Prost who DJ and perform as Frost Children.

We first saw Frost Children a few years ago in New York, at a party for Montez Press Radio at an ice skating rink in Bushwick. They were standing behind the DJ booth, long stringy hair framing young, ghostly faces haloed by fur from the hoods of their matching parkas, playing music I can best describe as an SAT analogy question: Soundcloud Rap is to Rap as Frost Children EDM is to EDM.

But what I immediately intuited is that Frost Children represented a scene, a scene that I imagined as a continuation of the scene I remember in Brooklyn fifteen years ago, a mixed reality scene devirtualized from internet native subculture.

Angel and Lulu are skilled and prolific musicians, with a new album, Sister, dropping September 12th on the label True Panther. Sister is a maximalist work of pop EDM. It has big, juicy, emo hooks that Carly and I are too old to appreciate, and it manifests an overdriven imaginary of post-2008 financial crisis festival culture that Angel and Lulu are too young to have experienced.

Hauntology, anemoia, yeah, yeah… our conversation takes a different approach: that of human context windows, of the memetic nature of genres, of a bygone, crass scene filtered through a present sincerity, and of melodies able to transcend it all. I’m Lil Internet joined by my co-host Carly Busta, our guests are Angel and Lulu of the Frost Children. Let’s get into it.
