The Big Interview: Edith Frost

You have to like a singer who lists both good and bad reviews of her own music on her self-designed web site (at http://edithfrost.com/).  At least I have to, anyway; It’s very charming, after all.  Singer/songwriter Edith Frost is one of the several left-of-center acts on Chicago’s ueber-label Drag City Records.  I first encountered her in the pages of "Puncture" magazine while visiting my parents over Thanksgiving weekend last year.  Trapped as I was in rural (read: out-of-touch and boring) America, I had to wait until I was home in Boston before I could track down her debut, full-length release, Calling Over Time.  I was quickly won over to her melancholy, Twin Peaks-like, country torch singer-ish style.  Almost a year after that introduction Frost has another release: Telescopic.  This time around she’s added some fuzzy psychedelia to her hodge-podge sound and I’m still smitten.  She’ll be at T.T. The Bear’s in Cambridge on Saturday, November 7 with Sam Prekop (of The Sea and Cake and Shrimpboat) and Archer Prewitt (also of The Sea and Cake, as well as super-fun retro before retro was the thing band, The Coctails).
