Ben Frost Announces Tour Dates, Album ‘Aurora’ Out Now
Ben Frost has added more North American dates to his autumn tour with performances in Brooklyn, Lexington, Philadelphia, Toronto, St. Paul and Chicago. The tour starts on September 20th in Oslo and includes festival performances at Unsound (Poland) and Mutek (Mexico), in addition to his already on-sale and announced dates in Europe, Japan, Canada and Mexico
For a list of all dates and on-sale links please see below.
These dates follow the release of Ben Frost’s acclaimed album, A U R O R A, out now on Mute / Bedroom Community (Iceland).
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.
