A U R O R A

Description

In celebration of its 10th anniversary, renowned Iceland-based Australian composer Ben Frost releases a limited edition red vinyl of his studio album, ‘A U R O R A’, on Mute. Limited to just 300 copies in the UK, this vinyl edition includes alternative artwork and an exclusive download of his blistering 2014 live performance at Berlin’s Berghain. ‘A U R O R A’, which has lost none of its visceral potency in the intervening years, received universal acclaim and featured in Albums of the Year lists at NPR, Rolling Stone, Clash, Crack, FACT, Stereogum, and more. Performed by Frost along with Greg Fox (ex-Liturgy), Shahzad Ismaily, and Thor Harris (ex-Swans) and largely written in Eastern DR Congo, the album is wholly absent of guitar, piano, string instruments and natural wooden intimacy, offering a defiantly synthetic world of fiercely shaped sounds and galactic interference, pummelling skins and pure metals.
