Ben Frost's stunning new album is out this week on BEDROOM COMMUNITY. BY THE THROAT is one hell of a record - literally. It's the rare type of album that you can't do anything but sit there and take in. Frost channels the gods of molten metal through to the courageousness of contemporary electronic music. BY THE THROAT defines a shining moment in music and a highlight of 2009 to prove that the sticky, unsavory genre mold is becoming a lethargic, deteriorating pit of nonsense.

Here's what the press are saying so far...

"By the Throat is a break in the evolutionary ladder, a jump across links in the Darwinian chain, a re-mapping of sonic DNA...Ben Frost has taken modern music off the respirator and sent it once again trekking into the wild unknown'. - The Silent Ballet

'It's a hollow, unforgiving, brutal yet utterly beautiful record, full of deep intricacies that won't let you go- 'By The Throat' indeed'. - NME

Now for the free part. Ben posted on his own site ETHERMACHINES a link to download desktop images taken from the photo shoot for the artwork that appears in the CD version of "By The Thoat". He says it so righteously:

"By The Throat" is out today and I woke this morning with the depressing thought that because many people are now listening to "By The Throat" through internet theft (congratulations) you are - as a direct result - not enjoying the visual aspect of this record, which is as important to me as the aural one. So suckle again at the leaking nipples of treachery you bloody savages. This link (a place you are all very familiar with i’m sure) will grant you unfettered access to a collection of BY THE THROAT desktop images we made this afternoon from the absolutely stunning photography of Bjarni Gríms."

DOWNLOAD them right HERE.

Ben Frost will be touring with his labelmates throughout the fall - you can find the complete listing of shows right HERE.

Hey, I downloaded the zip file of the pictures. They are quite moving. However, the one I wanted to see the most--the album cover--did not appear amongst the the files downloaded. Is this intended or a glitch? Is there any way I could obtain a large-scale copy of the album cover, namely with out the large text accross the middle?

Thanks for your music,

Daniel
