I'm wondering if this counts as fission: East Village Opera Company, "When I am Laid in Earth Redux", the key shift(?) at 2:22.

Afaict, frission isn't a quality of music itself, but rather a chill-like response you may have while listening to certain songs. If you get frission while you listen to a song, then yes, it counts as frission to you.

Edit: but yes, this key shift is rather beautiful and unexpected.
