frostlake presents 'Shattered Stone', featuring singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jan Todd, guitarist Terry Todd and now including keyboard player Andy Peake, a long time bandmate with Terry (Comsat Angels)

The 4th album features the best of British psychedelia and folk-rock - with haunting melodies, sonic atmospheres and unusual instruments. It is eclectic, gently strange, both melancholic but hopeful where simply elegiac meets driving bass and drums to give a rich layered sound with Jan Todd's vocals soaring above or cutting through the layers with eerie calm.

'Shattered Stone' has 11 songs which are solo compositions by Jan or collaborations with Terry and Andy with shifting moods of personal refections and observations where all three players work together to present a cohesive 'frostlake feel' soundscape.
