Stream the new Ben Frost album, A U R O R A
On May 27, Icelandic electronic producer Ben Frost will release his new album A U R O R A, via Mute. It was primarily recorded in the Congo, and features contributions from Guardian Alien drummer Greg Fox and Swans/Shearwater percussionist Thor Harris. It’s a dark and noisy collection of industrial ambient compositions, and it ranks among the most intense things we’ve heard all year, alongside the new Swans album, To Be Kind.
We’ve already heard Endless Playlist pick “Venter,” which was an early, incredible introduction to this powerful piece of music. And now you can stream the full album via Pitchfork Advance.
