Frost* – Life In The Wires [LP]

Description

Every prog band worth their salt really should do a double album, shouldn’t they? asks Frost* frontman Jem Godfrey. This was one of the initial ideas as the bands songwriter/keyboardist/vocalist approached working on Frost*s 5th studio album Life in the Wires due out on Oct. 14th, 2024 on InsideOutMusic. The album is Frost* at its most ambitious, offering nearly 90 minutes of music over 14 exquisite tracks. The album is the brainchild of Godfrey who was inspired to create the conceptual world for the album based on the groups previous release Day and Age (2021).

Fans of the bands masterful debut album Milliontown (2006) will enjoy the band revisiting the style that made that debut album one of the most successful prog rock albums of the last 20 years, a fact that was not lost on Godfrey as he was writing this new record. With Day and Age, we made it a very specific point: we’re not doing any solos, we’ll do clever arrangements. And we enjoyed that discipline, but this time I thought it might be good to row back on that position a bit. Plus I wanted to have a little bit of a nod to Milliontown with this album, because it’s been nearly 20 years since Milliontown came out and Im still proud of it. The 15-minute title track has a few of those Milliontown moments in it which were great fun to do again.

The album will be available as a Limited 2CD Edition, Gatefold 140g 2LP & as Digital Album, with stunning artwork by Carl Glover (Steven Wilson).
