Album Review: The Frozen Ocean - In Exile

Dallas Green and his swooning voice and heartfelt lyrics have a lot to answer for. His ability to make Ladies and Gents hearts melt in an instant, have lead to numerous tattooed band-types ditching the loud and heavy for the soppy and introspective. Though I have neither seen nor heard any of his previous bands, I get the impression that David Swanson, the voice and brains behind The Frozen Ocean, is another of these types. ‘In Exile’, his second offering under this moniker, has some moments of brilliance, but most of it falls largely under the radar.

‘Caught In The Air’ serves as a big warning of things to come. It starts magnificently and by the two minute mark has morphed into a great instrumental opening track. However, instead of ending and moving onto the next track, it continues on a loop for another two minutes plus, and instead of the atmospheric opener it should have been it becomes an aural cheese-grater.
