Ben Frost

Releases the latest in a series of films for upcoming album ‘A U R O R A’ + Announces new live dates.

Q – “euphoric electronic maximalism”

Crack – “rich and rewarding electronic shamanism”

The Quietus – “A U R O R A is Frost’s most fully realised album”

In the run up to the release of Ben Frost’s critically acclaimed new album, A U R O R A, the third and final in a triptych of films created by Trevor Tweeten and Richard Mosse has been released. Watch the film here:

A U R O R A, Frost’s fifth studio album, is released on 26 May and, following an incredible headline performance at the Village Underground, London, a series of new dates including the ATP, Pitchfork and Primavera Sound Jabberwocky festival, London on 15 August, have been announced (full details below).

A U R O R A is performed by Ben Frost with Greg Fox, Shahzad Ismaily and Thor Harris and largely written in Eastern DR Congo. Starved of all the adornments of its predecessor; wholly absent of guitar, of piano, of string instruments and natural wooden intimacy,

A U R O R A offers a defiant new world of fiercely synthetic shapes and galactic interference, pummeling skins and pure metals.
