Freezing Cold have announced their sophomore album 'Treasure Pool' due out August 1 via Don Giovanni Records. Inspired by '90s alternative and indie sounds, the new collection challenges classic "rock radio" structure while also embracing it. With bouncing percussion, indie-pop guitar licks and tender vocal harmonies, album opener “Backlight” – out alongside an official video – was inspired by the discovery of an old box of undeveloped film and what surfaces from reflecting on the past through the unearthed images.

“If you’re part of the disposable camera generation, you probably know the feeling of flipping through a stack of old photos and getting hit with a flood of emotions,” shares Jeff Cunningham. “Some are total mysteries, completely lost in time. Since you made that 4x6 memory, life added context. People have passed away. Others, you thought you’d know for years to come. Some of those expectations held true, others not quite. We tried to capture the weird mix of nostalgia and surprise on what is probably the poppiest song on the album.”

Freezing Cold was co-founded in 2017 by seasoned indie-punk musicians Angie Boylan (touring/session drummer in Sleater-Kinney, Aye Nako, Cheeky) on drums and Jeff Cunningham (Bridge & Tunnel, Ordinary Lives) on guitar and vocals, now joined by bassist Leanne Butkovic who brings a new perspective and fresh energy to the band. They tracked the 10 songs over two years and three separate sessions at Lakehouse Recording Studios in Asbury Park, NJ with friends Eric Bennett and Marissa Paternoster (Screaming Females).
