Staff Pick: Ben Frost - Scope Neglect

For fans of: Electronic drone and doom metal riffs, Regis, Andy Stott, Demdike Stare, Blackest Ever Black label

What they say: This is a brutally loud album, its low end practically steroidal; downstrokes are accompanied by walloping thwacks, rendering the guitar a percussive instrument as much as a tonal one. Few records—certainly few records that take their cues from the heaviest strains of metal—can boast such a vast dynamic range. - Pitchfork

What we say: Ben Frost returns with his first studio album since co-composing the soundtrack to Ridley Scott's "Raised By Wolves" with an album of distorted guitar riffs, angular electronic rhythms and dark minor key melodies. His best work since 2014's "Aurora"! - Jefferson
