Ben Frost

Noisy electric-guitar minimalist Frost shares the prismatic roar of his latest release, Aurora: his first album for Mute Records. As well as his own work, the Reykjavik-based artist is known for producing film soundtracks and Tim Hecker records, and his current live show – featuring wildman Swans percussionist Thor Harris – apparently aims 'at blinding luminescent alchemy; not with benign heavenly beauty but through decimating magnetic force'. His first-ever Japan appearance should be a loud one, then.
