5.0 / 10

The Iceland-based sound artist Ben Frost released one of 2014's best records, the brawny A U R O R A. This EP, featuring remixes of songs from that collection, includes reworkings by Evian Christ, Dutch E Germ, HTRK, Kangding Ray, and Regis.

7 / 10

A mixed bag of remixes that at times acts like a backhanded compliment to the deftness of Frost’s originals.

Ben Frost expands on the claustrophobic menace of his brilliant fifth album A U R O R A with the remix EP V A R I A N T, which features reworkings by HTRK, Kangding Ray, and Evian Christ.
