Info from release notes on Bandcamp "The first solo single from Jonn Gauntletier of Ars Phoenix, "January Freeze" explores the existential anguish of the New Year, the tyranny of the wrist watch and "homogenous empty time." A slow burn that tries to contain its intensity with stoic restraint, "January Freeze" treads new ground while harkening to other anti-climax classics like "The Overload" by Talking Heads, Joy Division's "Atrocity Exhibition," Interpol's "Leif Erikson," and "Equal Ways" by Clan of Xymox.".
