Those hyperpopping sibs are at it again. The glitchy, glossy, maximalist NYC duo Frost Children return today with word of a new EP, Tweaker Poem, arriving in just a few weeks. It's the follow-up to last year's Sister, and it arrives on the heels of a very hectic and chaotic 2026 so far. It sounds like things have been even more hectic and chaotic than we realized because Frost Children made Tweaker Poem in response to their experience with a stalker.
The EP's lead single, "Satellites," is out now. It's got that arching, heart-on-sleeve quality that animates so many Frost Children songs, that sense of ultra-earnest emo and ultra-processed club music colliding under a gleaming pop facade. The band's Angel Prost offers this backstory for the track:
After dealing with a horrifying stalker in NYC we wanted to self-isolate and make a short project in one sitting fueled by sleep deprivation and discomfort. The songs on the EP are tracklisted in the order we made them, from morning until the next morning.
Tweaker Poem is an ode to psychotic obsession and transcendent admiration for an Idol— when love letters start to sound more tweaky and oddly spiteful than loving. The project sympathizes with and beautifies the dejected loner, the lover who doesn’t know how to read the room, too obsessed with maintaining a private fantasy to invest in reality. The tweaker, by our definition embodied by the possessive/obsessive laser-focused lover-weirdo, deserves to laugh and cry and have anthems, too.
These are hymns for Lovers who hypnotize themselves with faith when the world seems to frown and frown and frown at them.
