The Centre Cannot Hold

Mute is proud to announce The Centre Cannot Hold, the fifth album from acclaimed composer Ben Frost, his first since 2014’s landmark A U R O R A. The album was recorded over ten days by Steve Albini in Chicago. An exercise in limitation and chromatic saturation, The Centre Cannot Hold is an attempt at transcribing a spectrum of glowing ultramarines into sound. It forbids casual engagement, but rather seeks to engulf those who encounter it.
