British progressive rock band Frost* has released a stand-alone single titled “Western Atmosphere.” Previously available exclusively as a Japanese bonus track on the album Life in the Wires, the track features an impressive lineup: band leader Jem Godfrey collaborates with Randy McStine (live guitarist for Steven Wilson and Porcupine Tree), Mike Keneally (Devin Townsend), and Nick D’Virgilio (Big Big Train).
Godfrey shared: “I sometimes wonder what would have happened had I stayed in bed 10 minutes longer than I did on Monday 11th of January 2010. Perhaps my life would have gone in a completely different direction and Frost* would have ended up with the lineup of myself on keys, vocals and bass, Mike Keneally on guitar, Nick D’Virgilio on drums and Randy McStine on guitar and vocals. We’ll never know, I guess.”
The release follows the success of Life in the Wires, a double concept album that debuted last October
