Review

The new kid around Pickled Egg's HQ in Leicester is Freeze Puppy who cherishes in the type of cabaret indie-pop once championed by 4-tReck. There's absolutely nothing French about the Bristol-based Freeze Puppy however, yet the puppy is quite exquisite already. His fourth album already, but the first that I have got to hear, holds its breath for several tracks. When the penultimate track, 'Worth The Hike', comes along, you will most probably find yourself in an indie-electronica rump that, with great pleasure, you will find it hard to crawl out of. 'Animation' is a very short and concise set of snaptunes, ranging from lovely dreamscapes to unexpected jittery jewels like 'Hey Mr. (Softdrink)'.
