2000

Operating somewhere in the intersection of Chrome, the Elevators, Simply Saucer and a little Augustus Pablo, this is the earliest of Frozen Bears recordings. Originally put down in the far distant future year of 2000 AD, the Type I cassette master tapes have been unearthed from the Bears' vault and given the deluxe treatment, as these songs previously only existed on dubs made for friends, if that. The Frozen Bears make it their mission to exploit the limitations of their meager recording equipment. With only a couple guitars, a cheap microphone and a cassette four-track coming along for the ride, Kevin Hurstell and Adam Waller take the Digitech RP-1 to places it's designers never dreamed of. Most of the songs were born out of spontaneity inspired by sounds that presented themselves through the RP-1 and sometimes barely functioning gear. Frozen Bears 2000 was recorded in a tiny apartment bedroom in Baton Rouge, Louisiana that eventually fell victim to neglect and subsequent condo-ization. Keeping with the spirit of the sounds contained therein, the CD-R is done up 100% DIY, with a silkcreened jacket, spray-stenciled disc, and photocopied insert.
