Ben Frost - The Wasp Factory (2026)

Australian composer Ben Frost has created a compelling operatic adaptation of Iain Banks' infamous novel The Wasp Factory. Recorded at Abbey Road Studios featuring Sinfonia Reykjavik and three female vocalists, this dark yet surprisingly tender album blends elements of apocalyptic sound design, avant-garde string arrangements, and psychological grotesque.
