Frozen Heart EP

Frozen Heart EP is the second release from English duo Smoke Fairies.

Background

Frozen Heart EP was released on 13 July 2009 and was the Smoke Fairies' first record to be produced in a professional recording studio. The title track and single "Frozen Heart" is a tale of two lost and confused people on a journey. A music video to accompany the single was filmed by the band in Rotherhithe, London, and features "two robots trying to find each other".

In a review for Norman Records, Phil Leigh wrote, "...this will appeal to those who like trad folk but are a bit adventurous as well (not rock climbing adventurous...maybe staying and having that extra pint in the pub when it's bedtime adventurous)...."

The EP was released on CD, and a black 7" Vinyl + CD bundle (limited edition of 500) and later became part of the Ghosts compilation album.
