A U R O R A, performed by Ben Frost with guests Greg Fox, Shahzad Ismaily and Thor Harris, was largely written in Eastern DR Congo where Frost was working with Richard Mosse and Trevor Tweeten on the Deutsche Börse prize winning installation, The Enclave.
A U R O R A named an ‘Album of the Year (So Far)’ by:
Rolling Stone, The New Yorker, Stereogum and Drowned In Sound
Following on from their Congolese collaboration, Frost, Mosse and Tweeten were last month invited by Time magazine to travel to a US aircraft carrier to document flight tests for the new unmanned X-47B drone. The film can be seen here: (LINK)
Frost’s autumn tour continues next week with an appearance at Unsound festival in Poland and the start of N American tour dates before returning to the England in November for the first tour since the release of his acclaimed album, A U R O R A.
The English dates start on 10 November in Brighton, and include a headline London show at St Johns in Hackney with support from legendary avant-garde minimalist composer Tony Conrad.
Already a critics favourite, A U R O R A has been featured heavily in the ‘Albums of the Year So Far’ lists. It is described by The Wire as “Frost’s most fully realised work to date”, by Rolling Stone as having “garnered enough enthusiasm to snowball into the ambient event of the year” and by Resident Advisor as “the darkest and most powerful recording of his career”.
