Frontier Touring and I OH YOU are extremely excited to be bringing Max Frost, Atlantic recording artist and multi-instrumentalist phenom, to Australian shores for the first time ever. Frost will be bringing his soulful electronic pop to Sydney and Melbourne this coming March.

At just 23 years of age, Austin local Max Frost has two EPs under his belt and a string of buzz worthy tracks including ‘White Lies’ lifted from his first EP Low High Low, which topped Hype Machine’s Most Popular Tracks on Blogs Now.

‘’White Lies’, an up-tempo dance-pop number that's super-sized hooky like Gnarls Barkley's ‘Crazy’ or Pharrell's ‘Happy’’ – Rolling Stone

‘Musically timeless, warmer and less misogynistic fusion of electronic production and old-school rhythm’ – Renowned For Sound

2015 saw the release of Frost’s latest EP Intoxication (Atlantic) which is described as his most up-tempo work to date. Sonically influenced by the music of Amy Winehouse and Raphael Saadiq, Frost’s music takes on a vintage soulful sound whilst still sounding modern and unique.

Instantly catchy jam ‘Paranoia’ received massive amounts of triple j airplay and critical acclaim. Set against a 60s blue-eyed soul beat with a driving and punchy bassline and a subtle organ hum, ‘Paranoia’ highlights Frost’s songwriting growth.

Similarly to ‘White Lies’, Intoxication’s track ‘Withdrawal’ premiered at #1 on Hype Machine’s Most Popular Tracks on Blogs Now chart.

‘You can always count on Max Frost to give you replay-worthy hits’ – Hilly Dilly
