Alt-folk singer/songwriter Edith Frost last released a record back in 2005 with It's a Game. But now that's about to change. Set for release on February 28, about 19.5 years since its predecessor, Frost will release In Space, via longtime label Drag City. Frost has released each of her records with the famed indie label, ever since her debut self-titled EP in 1996.
With the news comes the album's first single, "Hold On", with a video "edited and compiled by" Simon Russell, with footage shot by Michael Analytical and Ron Smith. Watch below:
Although Frost has been rather quiet since It's a Game, she has poked her head out every now and then. Once, it was when she got banned from Twitter for changing her name on the platform to Elon Musk and posting joking, poop-related tweets ("I think I was just getting so frustrated with his man-baby antics" she said in a statement issued at the time.)
On the more musical front, she released a somewhat-surprise EP in 2020 called Nothing Comes Around, whose title track reappears on In Space. Frost also put out a single, "Little Sign", later that year, which also appears on the new LP.
The new album features Califone’s Jim Becker, Finom’s Sima Cunningham, Bill MacKay, and Jeff Ragsdale, with arrangements by Mark Greenberg and Rian Murphy.
