Artist:	FRIDGE
Title:	Happiness
Label:	TEMPORARY RESIDENCE LIMITED
Format:	CD
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	TRR 043CD

"Fourt Tet's Kieran Hebdan follows up the wonderful and hugely acclaimed Pause album (Domino) with this very impressive new album from his 'other' band Fridge. Released on Hebden's own label Text. The literal and prosaic nature of the song titles bypass the always entertaining (and always distracting) art of being self consciously artful. The true nature of this record is the transference of pure emotion -- the intimacy and intensity of the trio in the studio together."

Title:	Happiness
Label:	TEMPORARY RESIDENCE LIMITED
Format:	2LP
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	TRR 043LP

"Before Four Tet was remixing Radiohead and Coldplay and before Adem was performing with David Byrne and Fairport Convention, they were breaking new ground as Fridge, a trio formed in 1996 with fellow schoolmate Sam Jeffers. After three critically-acclaimed albums, the group took an inadvertent hiatus when its members' various solo projects took off. Six years later, the group are back with The Sun, their most celebrated album yet. To celebrate their triumphant return, we are releasing their astonishing 2001 album, Happiness, on deluxe limited edition double vinyl. This is the first time Happiness has been available on vinyl anywhere in the world in over five years." Strictly limited to 2,000 copies, and pressed on 100% virgin black vinyl.

Title:	Eph
Label:	TEMPORARY RESIDENCE LIMITED
Format:	2CD
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	TRR 048CD

"Now, for the first time ever, all of Fridge's Go!Beat-era recordings are available in one convenient package for a much more appealing price. No more will folks have to settle for rumors of this masterpiece. Included in the 2-CD set is the original Eph album in its entirety, along with a second disc containing the out-of-print Kinoshita Terasaka single and Of EP. And just for good measure, we threw in two previously unreleased remixes from uber-hyped Matthew Herbert and mix maestro P. Pulsinger. A total of about 100 minutes worth of music."

Title:	The Sun
Label:	TEMPORARY RESIDENCE LIMITED
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	TRR 117CD

"It may have been a while since Fridge's last record (2001's Happiness), but contrary to what some may think the band never went away, never went on sabbatical and certainly never broke up -- they just stretched a little at the edges, and ended up with a bigger, wider sound than ever for their new record, The Sun. The pure and simple fun of playing music with friends that you can hear in a garage pours off the record. It's the impulse behind everything the band does. But the The Sun is still orchestrated with all the musical intelligence to be heard on the Adem and Four Tet records. Process is key, with the studio itself being integrated as one of the instruments Fridge 'play'. But really it's Fridge's harmonies that hold The Sun together, joining up the dots between their disparate interests and influences. It's not a part of the band's sound that gets recognized enough, but there are plenty of tunes here that will get stuck in your head for weeks."
