The Centre Cannot Hold

by Ben Frost

The Centre Cannot Hold cover art

Recorded in Chicago with legendary audio engineer Steve Albini, the Iceland-based Australian composer translates his digital soundscapes through intense, live-room acoustics. The album captures an incredibly physical, seasick atmosphere, relying on unstable synthesizer frequencies and violent dynamic shifts. It serves as a terrifying, wordless representation of geopolitical instability and impending environmental collapse.
