Ben Frost with Greg Kubaki & Tarik Barri

It’s been more than seven years since Ben Frost last visited Portugal, the same amount of time since he released his last original album The Centre Cannot Hold. During this disappearance, the Australian musician has done a lot of work on television – the series Dark,1899 and Fortitude gave him opportunities to create soundtracks – and in other fields – opera, gaming, cinema and an installation by Richard Mosse, for example.

Ben Frost returns to discs and stages with a strong desire to mark his territory and proposes a musical experience that touches, this time literally, on the viscerality and explosive power of rock, summoning up that dark spirit that has always been omnipresent at the heart of his previous performances. Mathcore guitarist Greg Kubacki is therefore the necessary detonation that occurs within the thick and vigorous environmentalism that Frost builds so well. Around them, Tarik Barri’s overflowing light and video open up unexpected colours and shapes like flowers insisting on a storm.
