FROTH
Share Mount Alaska remix of “77” ahead of the start
of their final tour of the year
New album, Duress, out now on Wichita Recordings
“A New Creation Myth, Soundtracked By Shoegaze” – FADER
Los Angeles’ noise-rock trio Froth released their most fully realised work to date, Duress, earlier this year on Wichita Recordings. Today, ahead of their final tour of 2019, Froth share a new version of their previous single “77”, remixed by Dublin duo, Mount Alaska.
On this remix, Mount Alaska (who recently released their debut album, Wave Atlas: Season One on 251 Records) bring their customary analogue warmth, deep bass and bubbling synth arpeggios to Froth’s track, transporting the original even further into the gorgeous electronica world.
Froth go on tour in the US this week with DIIV, before heading home to LA for a holiday season show on Dec 18. Full dates are below.

Froth has never been a band content with the status quo. After three records, scoring the Saint Laurent Men’s Fall 2014 line fashion show (with frontman Joo Joo walking in the show), and forays into shoegaze, psychedelia and post-punk, the band of Joo-Joo Ashworth, Jeremy Katz and Cameron Allen have stepped outside the shadow of their influences and into something wholly their own.
Co-produced with longtime friend and collaborator Tomas Dolas (Oh Sees/Mr. Elevator), the record is unapologetically experimental yet undeniably accessible. It’s an impressive and self-assured statement from a group only just entering their prime.
With Duress, Froth has finally been able to realise their vision without compromise. Mirroring their open-minded studio approach, Froth’s live show is equally enthralling in its incorporation of analog synthesizers, overdubs and drum machines. The band toured the U.S earlier this year performing with Black Marble, Versing, A Place To Bury Strangers DJs, as well as spending a month on tour in Europe.
