FROST* – Day And Age [Limited 2-CD Edition] (2021)
Melodic progsters FROST* have always presented a unique blend of startling musicianship, gigantic production and inimitable sound. Their upcoming albums ”Day And Age” is a cohesion of all these attributes, and is perhaps the first studio album to so openly exploit the band’s deep sense of irony.
Fronted by co-founders Jem Godfrey and John Mitchell, and supported by the stupendous Nathan King (Level 42) on bass, the band currently does not have a dedicated drummer but continues their legacy of playing with some of the best in the business: Pat Mastelotto (Mr. Mister, King Crimson), Kaz Rodriguez (Chaka Khan) and Darby Todd (The Darkness).
Musically, this is a blend of wonderful sonics ranging from Asia, Saga, Marillion, Peter Gabriel Genesis, ’80s Daivid Gilmour’s Pink Floyd to Sons Of Apollo. The title track alone worth this terrific release, and if you need to enjoy the impressive instrumental versions, grab this Limited 2-CD Edition.
