Hearth Room is the fifth studio album by American pop group Frost Children, released on November 17, 2023.
Reception At Clash, Harry Thorfinn-George rated this album a 6 out of 10, ending that this album "captures that the times are a-changing – luckily, it sounds pretty good". Writing for Pitchfork, Harry Tafoya scored Hearth Room a 7.4 out of 10, calling this a reinvention for the band, as "the songs follow more conventional pop structures and don't get derailed by verbal or musical non sequiturs". In The Saturday Paper, Shaad D'Souza called Hearth Room and its predecessor Speed Run sister albums that "can make for a fun, bracing listen" and make up part of an "indie sleaze" scene responding to early 21st-century pop music.
