Fame brings frenzy. Frost Children — the expansive EDM/pop project of siblings Lulu and Angel Prost — learned that lesson the hard way near the end of last year, when they experienced a phenomenon all too common in music today: fan stalking. “Internet and real life things happening that were terrifying,” Angel tells the FADER in a July video call.

They escaped the situation in a particularly rockstar manner by going from a New Years Eve bender DJing with The Dare straight to the airport for a trip to Tokyo: part-work trip, part way to simply get the hell away. In Japan, while still in the thrall of sleep deprivation and dis-ease, they made an EP. “We were just like, What would happen if we just stayed up and just kept going? What if the session just never ends and you just keep going?” shares Angel.

The Genesis of Tweaker Poem

The result of that harried session is Tweaker Poem (out today, July 10, via RCA), a six-song project that expands the EDM pyrotechnics of 2025’s SISTER while still mining deeper into the duo’s ever-earnest, even optimistic, lyricism. Even though the project was borne out of an experience that reflects the dark side of fame, Angel and Lulu approached depicting it with curiosity, exploring the idea of a superfan’s projection as a creative starting point.

Angel even found inspiration in learning about Madonna’s notorious stalker, Robert Dewey Hoskins, quoting him directly in the record. “I was really fixating on that story,” says Angel. “I was interested in this duplication of yourself that happens when you are a public facing artist: there’s you and then there’s the version of you that lives in everyone’s head, they kind of own that version.”

Collaborating with Kim Petras

It’s somewhat fitting that a project that directly responds to the pains of attention comes amidst the duo’s rising status in the pop landscape. They served as key producers across Kim Petras’s beloved debut album Detour, helping craft standout tracks like its mythic opening title track and its sugary hit, “I Like Ur Look,” among others. The record’s success brought new attention to the duo as a generalized pop force, now proving they can take their solo synergy and apply it to others’ records.

To further cement their ascent, they have also inked a deal with a major label and are having their biggest headlining show yet, their very own festival in Queens’s Knockdown Center on July 25: Frost Fest featuring many FADER favorites like kuru, The Deep, The Femcels, and more.

The Creative Process

Reflecting on the success of the Kim Petras collaboration, Lulu Prost notes, “I was excited to see that Kim gained a lot of new traction and new fan bases. I kept getting sent reaction videos to ‘Detour’ on YouTube from more like rap guys, that would probably otherwise not be in the pop landscape, but because [the Kim album] occupies a new vibe in pop music [it’s reaching them].”

Angel adds, “Lulu and I prior to meeting Kim were like, We really want to make music for another artist, someone that will let us be weird and experiment and make these kinds of bangers.”

”What if the past two years haven’t happened? There’s no expectations. There’s no thinking if it’s playable, just be crazy.”

Ultimately, Frost Children remain focused on their core bond. “The passion that we have for what we do, heals all the potential wounds that the world gives us,” Lulu says. “If we didn’t have each other, it would be a lot crazier to manage emotionally.”
