BOSTON, MA. (Aberdeen City Official Website) - Churning up like the cold North Sea, Aberdeen City is making waves with their new release, The Freezing Atlantic (Dovecote/Red Ink). They've been tagged by both SPIN and MTV as up-and-comers to watch and hear and are backing those claims up with an 8-week cross-country tour with The
Electric Six and The Blue Van.
Even before The Freezing Atlantic saw national distribution, Aberdeen City's distinctive sound gained them fans throughout the notoriously picky Boston music scene. The album's first single (and video), "God is Going to Get Sick of Me," won a Boston Music Award before ever being committed to an album. Produced by Nic Hard (Jesse Malin, The Church, The Bravery), the original version of The Freezing Atlantic then went on to be voted "Best Local Album" by Boston Phoenix readers. ??Sensing that the album was need to get it into even more people's hands, Dovecote/Red Ink decided to re-release the record nationally and the rest is a history in the making. Uber-producer Steve Lillywhite (U2, Talking Heads, The Rolling Stones, Morrissey) stepped into the producer's seat to re-record two songs with the band ("Another Seven Years" and "God is Going to Get Sick of Me"). The result is a haunting and driving aural landscape and a perfect embodiment of the post-punk sound to which the Brits have been laying claim. Not for much longer!
The band will be on the road from mid-September through early November and will hit the road again in the New Year. If you'd like to go to one of the shows. need a CD or more info, you know where we're at!
