Prurient is the best known and most prolific alias of Dominick Fernow, seminal noise scene figure and owner of Hospital Records. His career took a turn with 2011's "Bermuda Drain", a "new wave" album which broadened Prurient's sound pallette and allowed him to reach a wider audience. True breakthrough and critical recognition came this year with the double album "Frozen Niagara Falls", a very personal record that marks his return to harsh noise sounds, though presented in many new and interesting ways, finding Fernow at his creative peak. He appeared at Unsound 2015 with a surprise show.
