First Light's Freeze (2005)

EW's GRADE
B+

Details Release Date: Oct 11, 2005; Lead Performance: Castanets; Genre: Indie Rock

Singer Raymond Raposa dips from creaky country-gothic to jittery free-form jazz and fuzz-rock spasms in a smeary, hypnotic haze with First Light's Freeze. At times, the leap through the looking glass feels almost like an invasion of his privacy — then again, it's hard to refuse the invitation.
