Frigid Forms Sell

For the uninitiated, Milemarker consists of members of Sleepytime Trio, Hellbender, and Griver. While all these bands were seminal bands in their own right, Milemarker departs from the aforementioned bands in form, style, and content. Coming off two well-received and critically acclaimed albums as well as a slew of singles and split releases, Milemarker has established itself as a true innovative force. Simply put, Milemarker's 'Frigid Forms Sell' is an album that realizes the band's potential. This album features catchier hooks, improved vocals, and more crystallized song structures than past efforts. Milemarker manipulates and distills seemingly disparate musical genres into a work of coherence and ingenuity. Proving that a band can indeed meld polished style and keen critical substance, Milemarker cleverly avoids the common pitfalls of their musical contemporaries by combining poignant lyrics and a refined technique featuring not only the expected guitar/bass/drumkit but also carefully crafted keyboard and electronic sections. Haunting yet lilting male and female vocals are evenly distributed throughout the album, ensuring that listeners' interests will always be piqued.
