Lily Frost Rebound

The titles on Lily Frosts new EP REBOUND speak for themselves: Rebound Bitch, Sex Trip, Red Flags and Witchdoctor. Frost is obviously writing songs that are spiked with an attitude of brazen, female empowerment, while combining elements of Americana, swing, surf, and spaghetti western, all set to big beats, massive horns, and a cinematic film-noir vibe. Both Sex Trip and Rebound Bitch portray a spurned lover turned bi-curious, looking to boldly explore an LGBTQ alternative lifestyle. Equally bold are the loud, brassy horns, and twangy surf guitars that drive each song. The former track balances these elements with beautifully arranged strings and even a harp. In Witchdoctor, Frosts haunted and haunting voice tells the tale of a brief but deep, fleeting encounter so powerful and memorable that it actually cures your blues and changes your life. Red Flags is especially cinematic, moving from a growling muted trumpet to a languorous bridge, culminating in Frost's litany of dismissals for a nasty hustler. The song is a cautionary tale about protecting ones heart and avoiding the ensnarement of online dating. Lily Frost is celebrated for her earlier recordings, such as 2008s Lily Swings, which featured swing renditions of Billie Holiday songs, or for all of her 12 original albums to date. Well known from song placements in TV shows like Greys Anatomy, Charmed, Mistresses, Crazy Beautiful and Being Erica, or TV commercials for Chevy Cobalt and The Bay, Frost has earned a place in Canadas music scene elite.
