Cody Frost

Cody Frost’s debut EP ‘IT’S NOT REAL’ put her on the map, her angsty, aggressive dark pop winning comparisons with everyone from Ashnikko to Bring Me The Horizon and My Chemical Romance. An international array of tastemaker attention included continuing support from Jack Saunders at Radio 1, giving Cody the platform to take her provocative,personality-fuelled pop to a broad audience.

When her focus turned to working on a bigger body of work, Cody’s plan was simple. “My first EP was just demonstrating what I can do,” she says. “But my new music is a lot more fun. It’s even more rambunctious and goes harder.”

One play of her recent single ‘Berlin’ shows that aim was accomplished. Inspired by the hyperpop scene and especially100 gecs, It’s full-on maximalist madness: thumping, trap-inspired beats, sinister industrial-tinged synths, and Cody’s voice bathed in autotune. It’s a song that emerged in two different time periods. The idea first came when she was in a cafe in Berlin during a trip to see Enter Shikari, and it was later finished during the peak of the pandemic. Cody has most recently released her mixtape TEETH. It’s the sound of Cody honing in on who she is as an artist by embracing a collision course of sonic juxtapositions and articulating her experiences at this stage of her life.
