Venus review

Tuesday July 31, 2001 – 6:02 pm

A review by Dina Hornreich that appeared in the August 2001 issue of Venus (Chicago, IL)…

It is easy to like Edith Frost. She designed her own web site (edithfrost.com). She was signed to her record label, Drag City, after writing them a fan letter about Will Oldham. She runs a mailing list just for her jokes (not the annoying chain letter kind, either). Her lyrics are sincere and the music is simply amazing. As my Jewish grandmother would say, "Vuts nawt to like?"

Lumpen review

Tuesday July 31, 2001 – 6:01 pm

A review by Cowboy Joe Collier that appeared in the Summer 2001 issue of Lumpen. I don’t know the exact date the issue came out.

Moving onto another outstanding Drag City offering, let’s hear it for Edith Frost! Wonder Wonder is her third LP, and maybe her best. This CD blows the doors off, a neat trick for such a meticulously crafted, delicate and beautiful piece of work — can’t even feel the blow.

Chicago Sun-Times interview

Saturday July 14, 2001 – 6:00 pm

An interview by Mary Houlihan that appeared in the Chicago Sun-Times on July 15, 2001…

Fast and efficient. Those are the words singer-songwriter Edith Frost uses to describe her latest studio experience. Sitting in her dust-covered apartment, she’s hoping the workers tearing out the walls and installing new air ducts think the same way.

Chicago Magazine interview

Saturday June 30, 2001 – 6:00 pm

An interview by Elizabeth Lenhard that appeared in the July 2001 issue of Chicago Magazine

Killer Frost

Edith Frost’s face is open as a full moon, with round gray-blue eyes and half-curly bangs exactly like the ones she had as a kid. Don’t be fooled. The country Midwestern crooner may say things such as "I’ve always been just my guitar and voice. I’m lucky if I have the skills to put it on a crappy four-track cassette." But she’s not as guileless as all that.

Boxhead Ensemble: The Last Place To Go

Monday October 19, 1998 – 5:00 pm

Boxhead Ensemble: THE LAST PLACE TO GO
Recordings from the Dutch Harbor European Film Screening Tour
©1998 Atavistic #ALP96CD
Purchase at Amazon

A followup to the Dutch Harbor soundtrack, with live performances by the Boxhead Ensemble (Mick Turner, Ken Vandermark, Jim White, Will Oldham et al).

You may or may not be able to hear a few breaths by me on the song "Choices Made". The first 1000 copies of this CD came with a five-song bonus disc compilation, which included a live version of a song of mine called "Who". The studio version of that song showed up a few years later on my third album Wonder Wonder.
