“a master of glacial, amorphous tension…[The Centre Cannot Hold] is an assault on all forms of reassurance." – New York Times
“… sonic shades cloak and flicker with resonant depth, ingesting recent orchestral pursuits for something colossal” – NPR review of Threshold Of Faith
“[‘Threshold of Faith’] heaves, crumbles, and explodes with enough bravado to soundtrack the apocalypse." – Pitchfork
“…punishingly beautiful…” – Stereogum
BEN FROST has announced details of All That You Love Will Be Eviscerated, a brand new EP featuring new tracks and previously unreleased remixes from Alva Noto and Steve Albini, out March 23on Mute. Preorder the EP here. The video for the title track is a collaboration with conceptual documentary photographer Richard Mosseand cinematographer Trevor Tweeten. Watch here. Released September 29, Frost’s latest album, The Centre Cannot Hold, was recorded over ten days by Steve Albini in Chicago. The music exists not in space, but in a space; it is a document of an event, of a room, and of the composer within it. It is music that is not fully controlled and appears to be anxiously, often violently competing against its creator. In collaborating with Albini, Frost chooses a new immediacy and raw directness. As an artist whose command of sound design lies at the heart of his practice, by placing himself primarily in the role of live performer and handing the studio recording process over to Albini, Frost continues pursuit of Theseus’ paradox; the question of whether a ship restored by replacing every single part remains the same ship.
