Ben Frost - Heads out on the road!

Ben Frost has announced further dates for 2014, including the first UK tour since the release of Frost’s acclaimed album 'A U R O R A' which is out now on Mute / Bedroom Community (Iceland). Those lucky enough to have seen Ben Frost’s recent UK performances at Village Underground and Corsica Studios recently, the latter following Jabberwocky’s cancellation, know the power of Ben Frost live. Recently described by London in Stereo as “a live experience unlike any other”, the dates are not to be missed. The UK tour starts on the 10th of November in Brighton, and includes a headline London show at St Johns in Hackney with support from legendary Avant-Garde minimalist composer Tony Conrad. Already a critics favourite, 'A U R O R A' has been featured heavily in the ‘Albums of the year so Far’ lists. 

The album was 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 2009’s 'By the Throat', 'A U R O R A' is wholly absent of guitar, of piano, of string instruments and natural wooden intimacy. Instead, it offers a defiant new world of fiercely synthetic shapes and galactic interference, pummelling skins and pure metals.
