MAX FROST UNVEILS NEW EP AND NORTH AMERICAN TOUR
AUSTIN, TX-BASED SINGER/SONGWRITER/MULTI-INSTRUMENTALIST ANNOUNCES
FOLLOW-UP TO 2013 DEBUT
“INTOXICATION” ARRIVES EVERYWHERE ON SEPTEMBER 18TH
DATES WITH WILD CHILD BEGIN OCTOBER 7TH IN SAN DIEGO
Atlantic recording artist Max Frost has announced the release of his new EP
“INTOXICATION,” set to arrive everywhere on Friday, September 18th. “INTOXICATION,”
co-produced by Frost, follows the success of his much-admired debut EP, 2013’s “LOW
HIGH LOW.” The Austin, TX-based tunesmith will celebrate the new EP’s long awaited
release with a North American tour alongside fellow Austinites Wild Child, set to get
underway October 7th in San Diego, CA and then travel through the month (see
attached itinerary). Max will also perform a headline show in Phoenix, AZ on October 5 th
with additional headline dates to be announced soon.
Named by both NPR and Rolling Stone as one of “10 Artists You Need To Know,” Max
Frost has earned acclaim with his electrifyingly idiosyncratic sonic blend, a musical
merging of soul, funk, hip-hop, pop, and electronica that saw 2013’s breakthrough
single, “White Lies,” lauded in such high profile national outlets as Interview, Billboard,
and NPR Music.
Frost first picked up the guitar when he was eight, playing his debut live shows at 12
before developing his own eclectic creative voice in various projects throughout his teen
years. His fresh beats and tight songwriting received local notice and the gifted young
musician was soon invited to collaborate with such Austin icons as singer/songwriter
Bob Schneider and MC/producer Kydd.
Frost eventually began playing more and more shows, winning over new fans nearly
nightly. The April 2013 release of “White Lies” proved an instant sensation, topping The
Hype Machine’s “Most Popular Tracks on Blogs Now” chart while also scoring placement
in a nationally televised Beats By Dre commercial that even saw an appearance from
Max himself. “White Lies” drew widespread applause in top music blogs and other
major publications. Paste hailed the track as “a jolt of energy,” naming it among “The
Best Songs of 2013 So Far.” “A soul-pop gem with nimble vocal delivery, suspicious
lyrics, and an irresistible groove,” said The Austin Chronicle, while My Old Kentucky Blog
praised the song as “accessible, dancey…No need for multiple listens. This one will hit
you immediately.” “The upbeat guitar mixed with the synthy electronic production
come together to form a killer musical marriage,” declared Pigeons & Planes, adding, “If
this is what the newcomer has to offer below the radar, it will be very exciting to see
what he comes up with once he breaks.”
Frost released his debut EP, “LOW HIGH LOW,” in October 2013. The EP affirmed the
promise of “White Lies” and then some, with the single, “Nice and Slow,” earning top 3
status on The Hype Machine blog rankings. The multi-talented tunesmith celebrated
with a nearly non-stop tour schedule, headlining his own shows while also sharing
stages with Warner Bros. recording artist (and fellow Austinite) Gary Clark Jr. and
Atlantic’s own Fitz & The Tantrums.
In late 2014 he unveiled a new single/video, entitled “Paranoia,” which will be featured
on the upcoming EP and once again drew online acclaim. “Raucous, wild, and fresh,”
said Baeble, “an echoing rock song, with bouncy beats, tambourine, and stripped down
drums.” “A chaotic, bandwidth walloping force of black and white shenanigans,” crowed
Rooster, while My Old Kentucky Blog declared the track to be “high-energy and loads of
fun.” Earlier this year, Max released “Let Me Down Easy,” another track from
“INTOXICATION,” which immediately hit #1 on Hype Machine.
