Frustration

Frustration could have easily played safe releasing a record basically identical to the previous one, intense, abrasive, honest but with no risk. They could have prepared their slow but inevitable exit. Instead of setting up a comfortable routine, Frustration recorded its fifth album as if it were the first, like a bunch of guys who've been playing together for six months, who have nothing to lose. Post-punk influences are still present on the album. 'So Cold Streams' is full of energy, raucous lyrics and full-on audacity featuring Jason Williamson of Sleaford Mods who makes a guest appearance. 'So Cold Streams' is, paradoxically perhaps, their most disillusioned, energetic and free record. Especially as the whole album is contained within the sleeve image. There's space, strength, light, rage and disgust. A desire to destroy everything. To make a clean slate. To come with something different. Something that makes you look at the world with a different perspective.
