[1] He recorded and played with his backing group 'The Slowdown Family' on his debut album Show Me How The Spectres Dance[2] but now performs solo under the name Liam Frost.

[6] March 2006 saw Frost performing at the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas[7] and that same year he also played a residency in Manchester's Night and Day Cafe to coincide with the release of his first EP.

He also shared a stage with Elbow at their Somerset House gig[10] in addition to playing on the same bill as The Decemberists, The Magic Numbers, Willy Mason and Ray Davies.

Frost had spent the early part of 2006 with The Slowdown Family in a London studio with Coldplay producer Danton Supple[11] recording his debut album Show Me How The Spectres Dance.

[24] In 2011 Frost formed a collaborative side project called TOKOLOSH with brothers Christian and Nicky Madden of The Earlies, The Whip's Nathan Sudders and drummer Richard Young.

[25] Described by BBC 6 Music DJ Marc Riley as a supergroup,[26] the band played numerous shows, with a debut gig at the historic John Rylands Library Reading Room in Manchester City Centre.

[28] In September 2014 they appeared at Festival No 6 playing an evening woodland gig[29] and earlier that year they also released their debut album Stay Strong on the Jack To Phono label.

[32] In 2014 Frost started working on songs for his unnamed third album and throughout the year he played a number of headline solo shows and support slots which included new material.

[37] In July he also performed an acoustic set at Band on the Wall as part of a double headliner gig with The Earlies who had reformed to play some shows to mark a decade since their debut album was released.

The voyage aboard a schooner took nearly three weeks, crossing the North Atlantic and travelling to Greenland with a crew made up of scientists, writers, artists, musicians and comedians.

[41] Despite suffering with sea sickness it was on this trip that Frost began writing material that would make up his second album,[42] including the songs "Shipwrecks"[43] and "Leading Lights and Luminaries".
