Permanent Frost: Lo-Fi country charmer, sans blue mohawk, comes home

Singer/songwriter Edith Frost has come a long way since the early ’80s when she wore a blue mohawk and worked behind the counter of Austin’s favorite headshop, Oat Willie’s.

Just looking at her, one would never guess the girl with the thin frame, wispy brown hair and sweet-as-honey voice could rock a punk haircut, much less a punk-’n'-roll club like Emo’s.

It’s Sunday. You wake up at noon, mouth parched, eyes bleary. Your ears are still ringing from the loud music the night before and your lungs hurt from the cigarette smoke. You need something that tomato juice and aspirin won’t fix.

Edith Frost’s new release, Telescopic, is the answer to Sunday morning blues. This may sound odd to anyone who has heard this ex-Austinite’s last effort on Drag City, Calling Over Time. It was a good record, but definitely not something you would put on in the morning to get pumped up.
