So three of the four guys in Boston's Aberdeen City are originally from Chicago. How's that for a local connection? Anyhow, the band re-released The Freezing Atlantic back in August and has already managed to snag Best Local Album of 2006 honors at the 2006 Boston Music Awards. In fact, they won Best Local Rock Band as well.
Produced (in part) by Steve Lillywhite (who has also produced the likes of U2 and The Psychedelic Furs) the album bursts out of the speakers with chiming post-punk guitars that crescendo into dramatic and atmospheric Britpop influenced indie rock anthems. Lyrically (and musically) the album is dark and moody but doesn't waste any time wallowing in self-pity. Filled with more than a few catchy and radio-friendly tunes, The Freezing Atlantic is a surprisingly strong and polished debut that points to the possibility of big things to come from the band.
As mentioned before, The Freezing Atlantic (originally released on Dovecote Records) has been re-released by Columbia. Pick up a copy if you like: Interpol, The Killers, Doves, etc...
