FRIDGE - EYELIDS


ARTIST / BAND: FRIDGE
SONG (MP3): EYELIDS
ALBUM: The Sun
FILE UNDER: Rock

INFO: Fridge formed at school in Putney, South London, in 1996 and were quickly signed to Trevor Jackson’s label Output label for their first albums, Ceefax (1997) and Semaphore (1998). The band moved to Go Beat! for Eph (1999) and then set up their own label Text for Happiness (2001). Meanwhile, alongside the group, its workaholic members were cooking up other projects. Kieran Hebden’s work as Four Tet first appeared on Output before he moved to Domino for the acclaimed Pause, Rounds and Everything Ecstatic. Adem Ilhan’s songwriting also found a home with Domino with 2004’s Homesongs and 2006’s space-inspired Love and Other Planets way ahead of the current folk curve. Sam Jeffers has forged a successful web design practice while studying at LSE and Harvard.
