Ben Frost - Threshold of Faith ( VINYL 07-28-2017 )

Threshold of Faith, the new EP from the Australian-born, Iceland-based composer Ben Frost, opens with a cheeky bit of studio debris. Before slamming you with exquisitely rendered kick drums and buzzing, synthetic avalanches, we hear something more quotidian: an engineer (presumably Steve Albini, who recorded Threshold), letting Frost know that “we’re rolling.” Like the four clicks from the drummer or a count-in caught on a room mic, this bit of ephemera is the type of thing one encounters on countless rock records, often left in as a point of scrappy pride. One does not expect it from Frost, though, an artist whose reputation rests on his immaculate, austere touch.
