Antarctic Wastelands’ first full EP is a journey in the truest sense. A condensed epic, Frozen Voyage is a concise expedition into the wonders of deep exploration, vast yet immediate.

Antarctic Wastelands is the solo ambient project of Ben Tatlow (Salt of the Sound, Narrow Skies); where previous Antarctic Wastelands compositions have explored the icy winds and biting textures of frozen sonic landscapes, Tatlow's fullest release to date instead ventures below the surface, where things are more still, and arrestingly beautiful. Away from the turbulent winds above, the visit below is met with dazzling and blissful weightlessness, while on the return to the surface, a renewed energy stirs, inciting a sense of rebirth and motivation.

Neverthless, imagery is offered, not forced. With ample space to explore elsewhere, Frozen Voyage offers a brief but potent catalyst for discovery, awe and rejuvenation.
