The music of Ben Frost is about contrast; influenced as much by Classical Minimalism as by Punk Rock and Metal, Frost’s throbbing guitar-based textures emerge from nothing and slowly coalesce into huge, forbidding forms that often eschew conventional structures in favor of the inevitable unfoldings of vast mechanical systems.
“…The emotional power of Frost’s music comes precisely from the stark contrast between extremely basic musical material and the deadly virtual instruments he invents to perform it… This is Arvo Pärt as arranged by Trent Reznor” –Wire Magazine, 2007
Malachai are a two-piece from Bristol UK, fronted by vocalist Gee, with music by Scott. That’s the easy part of the description. It’s the bit that follows that’s tough. The bit where their sound is captured in a concise fashion, and placed alongside a list of other artists, past and present, that they sort of sound like, used to validate the original description.
