About Me

If you'd like to hear more, there's a whole album of free demos online, a discography and various MP3s and videos on my website, edithfrost.com . You can buy my studio albums on vinyl and CD at my label Drag City . CDs are also available on Amazon , and you can buy MP3s on iTunes or Amazon MP3 .

If you want to write to me, read this!! All booking inquiries should go to my agent Derek Becker at Satellite Booking . All press, radio and other business-related questions should be directed to my label Drag City . I will probably not respond to above-related mail if it's misdirected to me. So! If you have something ELSE to say, by all means write to me, although I probably won't reply even then. If you could, I'd rather you used my regular e-mail -- that's my first name, which is edith, at my domain, which is edithfrost dot com. MySpace is really not a good place to write to me, but if you must... okay. Whatever. ;-)

FYI, I do all my profile maintenance on my own, I have no little helper-elves for this. And I'm kinda particular about friend requests and comments; I don't approve anything that seems at all creepy or spammy.

PRESS:

"Frost still has the unique ability to come across like JonBenet Ramsey warbling the Patsy Cline songbook. It's the juxtaposition of silly and sad."
~Jason Cherkis, Washington City Paper

"Her voice overflows with an earthy sweetness one typically encounters on dusty country records -- yet ignores distinctions between old and new, city and country, art and kitsch."
~Jay Ruttenberg, Time Out New York

"Edith Frost gives new hope for those seeking that kind of introspective, country-tinged singer-songwriter stuff but who're bored to tears with the way it sounds. Over the course of a few generally excellent Drag City albums, Frost has taken the form and given it goose..."
~John Payne, LA Weekly

"Edith Frost is the possessor of a dusky pair of pipes, and she knows a thing or two about arrangements, making songs [with] absolutely irresistible trinkets of new-wave bumpkinism."
~Joe S. Harrington, Magnet
