Though his supersonic rise to hipster stardom might raise a few eyebrows, one has to admit that Ben Frost knows how to write heart wrenching music. "By The Throat" deserved all the praises it received, and however high the expectations might be for this "Solaris", they are met. An album written by Ben Frost and recorded during Krakow's Unsound festival under the direction of Daniel Bjarnason, it is much more of a string and drones affair than Frost's usual mixture of noise and spare beats. And again, the subtlety, honesty and execution convey sadness and melancholia like few others. Another excellent album from this musician.
