Ben Frost has announced details of his sixth studio album, Scope Neglect, which has launched alongside the new track, "The River of Light and Radiation".

Where Scope Neglect leans sonically into metal – fuelled by progressive metal outfit Car Bomb’s guitarist Greg Kubacki and bassist Liam Andrews of fellow Australians My Disco – its true form seems to draw more upon the transcendental reveries of the West Coast minimalists.

Frost's diverse impact crosses film, television, and opera, earning acclaim for his score for Julia Leigh's Palme d’Or-nominated Sleeping Beauty and scores for TV series such as 1899 – including a collaboration with Eliot Sumner (AKA Vaal) – Raised By Wolves, Fortitude, and the cult series Dark. Additionally, his Opera creations, including The Wasp Factory and The Murder of Halit Yozgat, have been performed at London's Royal Opera House and Hannover's Staatsoper, cementing his position in the world of contemporary music and live arts.

Scope Neglect is set for released via Mute on 1 March.
