Under Certain Light and Atmospheric Conditions is built upon two years of live shows, soundcheck improvisations, and field recordings. It is a 38-minute dreamspace of jet lag, melatonin supplements, roaring crowds, and failing technology. Frost was joined by Greg Kubacki of Car Bomb, an original contributor on Scope Neglect (2024, Mute), and audiovisual composer Tarik Barri. They were also accompanied by sound designer Carlos Boix, whose recordings of the past year of live performances has seamlessly been woven into the album by Frost. Three of the tracks—‘Tritium Bath,’ ‘Chimera,’ and ‘Turning The Prism’—come directly from Frost's Scope Neglect, while the remaining cuts—‘Permcat,’ ‘Trancelines,’ ‘Black Thread,’ and ‘Prism Inversion’ (with their roots in Ukraine, India, Mongolia, and Brazil)—are previously unreleased.
