God, I love this song. It’s not news that I’m a longtime fan of Buffalo Tom and Bill Janovitz’s gorgeous solo work, and Frozen Lake is a particular favorite. For many years Bill and I have regularly played (and sometimes written) together, and I love singing this one live with him. Goosebumps and a lumpy throat every time. I’m usually on back-ups, but we’ve flipped this time, because I stole the lead. (A nearly 30yr plan finally realized...) However, it’s not really possible to steal space from Bill, and his voice slays on this, as usual. ❤️

like the best lyrically driven bands from the 90s, stripping Belly down to their elements only serves to make their impact that much more poignant. Like the sundays' Harriet Wheeler, Tanya's vocals have a way of cutting through the gloom, illuminating ever greater depths. For the fans, no doubt, as we enjoy a new taste with old friends... but also for someone looking to discover, as well. Name your price. Float away for 6 or 7 minutes. Awaken a touch better centered. setaside2
My sis and I used to love our vinyl copy of the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang soundtrack and this takes me right back to our attempts to recreate the film in our dining room! alf0d
