Cody Frost (any pronouns) releases her debut mixtape ‘TEETH’, which is released alongside an official video for the new track ‘redundant’. Delving into a frenetic whirlwind of maximalist sounds – from hyperpop to industrial – it sees Cody evolving in a manner that’s more provocative, abrasive and sheer fun than ever before, with her post-emo visual style adding to her growing artistry. Her already striking voice has also taken on a new power, as she moves at will from soulfulness to screaming.
Cody reconnected with those heavy roots by boldly going hard alongside her regular creative collaborator Dan Weller, co-founder of the recently reunited cult tech-metal band SikTh and producer/mixer for the likes of Enter Shikari and BABYMETAL.
The new track ‘redundant’ is one of the brighter, pop-orientated moments of the mixtape but its playfulness still has a sting-in-the-tail courtesy of Cody’s barbed lyrics. It takes a sardonic swipe at the kind of superficial, try-hard, attention-seeking character that you’ll encounter across the length-and-breadth of the country. The video matches the concept, featuring Cody dressed as the target of her scorn before she loosens up and joins in the house party chaos.
