1. Frost are … Read Full Bio ↴There are several bands/artists with the name Frost.
1. Frost are a Norwegian trip-hop act. From their website.
Norwegian trip-hop duo Frost is a collaboration between Aggie Peterson and Per Martinsen. Together they make melodic songs about changing the world backed by tasteful electronic sounds - more often than not touched by the all-embracing hand of disco.
Frost was initially formed in 1997 in Tromsø, Northern Norway, with singer/writer Miss Aggie Peterson and Norwegian Dub Disco entrepreneur DJ Rune Lindbæk at the core of the project. Together, and with the extended assistance of Mr. Torbjørn Brundtland (now Röyksopp) in addition to a few other hired hands, they produced the album “Bedsit Theories” in 1998. The album did very well in Norway, and the single “Clouds across the moon” – a cover version of the Rah Band classic, received heavy rotation on MTV in the summer of ’98.
In 1999 Aggie and Rune released the single “Endless Love”, with remixes by Röyksopp and duo Illumination/Chilluminati – of which electrohead and long time Norwegian provider of electric funk, Per Martinsen (also of Mental Overdrive), was one half. This saw the beginning of a collaboration between Aggie and Per, and in 2001 they released the album “Melodica” together. Since then the pair have collaborated as Frost.
“Melodica” consisted of glitchy electropop and downtempo airy songs, and received great reviews worldwide. The song “Amygdala” was released on a double vinyl 12” single with a variation of remixes, and the 7” vinyl single “Pharmacy”/”Half-whole” is still a sought-after gem.
Their second album, "Love! Revolution" was leaning more towards upbeat “space-pop” with catchy songs wrapped in hard-hitting yet dubby production. A third album is being recorded in 2009.
2. Frost was a black metal band, hailing from Birmingham, UK, and featuring Mick Kenney from Anaal Nathrakh, Mistress and Professor Fate . They released two albums, Cursed Again and Talking to God. Both albums got re-released in 2007 by Feto Records as a double album. After an extended period on hold Frost was finally dissolved in 2008.
3. Mistagged UK progressive rock group Frost*.
4. Ben Frost is an Australian/Icelandic producer and musician whose solo work and work under 'School Of Emotional Engineering' is characteristed by a persistant exploration of technology and sound, often expounding on darker, more symphonic textures; those concerning loss, alienation, and sound scapes. His work with experimental artists such as Björk, Scanner, Lawrence English and Ai Yamamoto goes hand in hand with his just as challenging but slightly more accessible work under the moniker 'School Of Emotional Engineering'.
More recently, following the release of the debut S.O.E.E album in 2004, Frost relocated from Melbourne Australia to Reykjavik Iceland to further pursue his muse. Working primarily within the walls of Greenhouse Studios under the wing of seminal producer/composer Valgeir Sigurðsson.
His later work is more orchestral in nature, though intention more focused and has gradually moved into areas outside of straight 'music'- often producing works for installation, dance, film and theatre. Frost's most recent release- the 2006 instrumental album 'Theory Of Machines', on Icelandic label 'Bedroom Community' perhaps best encapsulates the majesty, fury and beauty he is capable of unleashing, often within the same song.

Been So Long
Frost Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Blowin out O's till it's all fine
Work on my dough till it's all dimes
Taking the world till its all mine
With no one to share by my side
Don'tchu dare hit up my line
You ain't answer my calls when my calm died
You turned n switched on the wrong sideLooking around how they all blind
Walking myself I'm my own guide
Turn off my phone when I make it
Fuck all the clout that be chasing
I just don't wanna live basic
I don't wanna get faded but soon as I'm sober I hate it
Keep me sedated so I don't blow over and lose my vibration
The lucid of life is temptation
Ive been alone for a long time
Blowin out O's till it's all fine
Work on my dough till it's all dimes
Taking the world till its all mine
With no one to share by my side
Don'tchu dare hit up my line
You ain't answer my calls when my calm died
You turned n switched on the wrong side
Looking around how they all blind
Walking myself I'm my own guide
Turn off my phone when I make it
In the lyrics of "Been So Long," the singer expresses profound feelings of solitude that have persisted for an extended period. The line "I've been alone for a long time" sets a tone of introspection and an exploration of self, indicating that this individual has experienced emotional withdrawal and isolation. The mention of "blowin out O's" could metaphorically refer to indulging in vices or distractions, suggesting that the singer turns to escapism in order to cope with their loneliness. The line "Work on my dough till it's all dimes" indicates a strong drive toward success and financial independence, showing that the singer is focused on personal growth and achievement as a means of overcoming this solitude.
As the song progresses, it becomes apparent that the singer feels a mixture of determination and resentment regarding past relationships. Phrases like "Don'tchu dare hit up my line" suggest a clear rejection of those who have failed to support the singer in difficult times. The lines "You ain't answer my calls when my calm died" expose a sense of betrayal or abandonment from former friends or loved ones who were not present during their hardships. This feeling of being deserted turns into a source of strength for the singer, who chooses to rely on themselves, claiming "Walking myself I'm my own guide." This assertion of independence demonstrates a rejection of external validation or guidance, asserting that the singer is carving out their own path in life.
The repeated phrases and rhythmic structure in the lyrics allude to a cyclical struggle against both external pressures and internal battles. The singer is aware of the temptations and distractions that modern life throws their way, like the notion of seeking "clout that be chasing." This implies an awareness of social media's impact on mental health and self-worth, where superficial validation can overshadow more meaningful accomplishments. The line "I just don't wanna live basic" reveals a yearning for a life that is fulfilling and rich in experience, moving against the grain of mediocrity. This highlights a desire not just for financial success, but for a deeper sense of purpose that transcends material gain.
Finally, the struggle with sobriety is encapsulated in the lyric, "I don't wanna get faded but soon as I'm sober I hate it," which depicts an internal conflict where the escape from reality becomes intoxicating yet fleeting. The use of "sedated" suggests that the singer grapples with the need to remain numb to the challenges life presents, fearing that losing this control would lead to a loss of their personal identity and "vibration." The entire piece epitomizes a journey of self-discovery and resilience, with the singer forging ahead toward personal goals, despite the waves of loneliness and temptation that come with navigating a complex world without the support they once sought from others. In essence, "Been So Long" captures the contrast between the desire for connection and the power found in self-sufficiency.
