Fridge 在 1995 年成立，由 Kieran Hebden (Four Tet) 、貝斯手 Adem Ilhan 以及鼓手 Sam Jeffers 三名在學校認識的好友組成，當時他們互相玩音樂的圈圈裡還有現在的 #Burial、#HotChip 和 #TheXX；2001 年樂團高峰作品《Happiness》發行後 Hebden 成為了 Four Tet ，Adem Ilhan 開始了自己的創作，兩位都分別得到了不少關注，這樣各自闖蕩經過了六年，他們帶著成長回來與老朋友見面，Four Tet 標誌性的實驗聲響與 Adem 那暖度舒服的民謠邏輯都存在著，像是好久不見的夥伴在更新最近的種種，後搖滾、電子、爵士、民謠以及即興的對話，有些時候聊得太熱烈有點出界，但整張專輯結束卻感覺不到任何多餘的垃圾話，如果是 90 時期 Tortoise、Do Make Say Think 的樂迷，Fridge 的作品不會讓你失望。
It may have been a while since Fridge last record (Happiness), but contrary to what some may think the band never went away, never went on sabbatical, and certainly never broke up. In fact, they gradually stretched a little at the edges, and ended up with a bigger, wider sound than ever for their new record, The Sun. The pure and simple fun of playing music with friends in a garage pours from this record. Its the impulse behind everything the band does. But The Sun is still orchestrated with all the musical intelligence for which the members of Fridge are renowned. Process is key, with the studio itself being integrated as one of the instruments Fridge plays, but its the harmonies that hold The Sun together, connecting the dots between their disparate interests and influences.
