Press Reviews Translated from Finnish: FROZEN OCEAN: These guys' music has echos from folk rock, alternative pop, and is spiced with other influences as well. The songs are all great, and a few are fantastic... The arrangements are deliberate and band uses the 'less is more' attitude in their playing (i.e. everybody doesn't have to play "loud" all the time) as a great stylistic device."
