The film is a beautifully-shot story of three sisters reconnecting whe their mother goes missing in a haunted lake. It’s slow (in a good way), moody and unsettling akin to 70s movies like Let’s Scare Jessica To Death. I loved it on first viewing, and although it mostly features sound design & not soundtrack, I loved the final end credits song and immediately knew I wanted to release it on Death Waltz. Side A is the haunting end credits track that’s eerie, beautiful and mournful. Side B is a sound collage of the films score created especially for the single, and again, sure to give you chills if you listen late at night.

Pre-Orders will ship in December. Please note the Pre-Order cut off date is August 7th. SPENCER'S PICK OF THE WEEK

Alessandro Cortini – RISVEGLIO (Hospital Productions)

Alessandro is the keyboard player for Nine Inch Nails, but is also an incredible solo artist. RISVEGLIO (his fourth solo record) was recorded solely with analog synths on tour and and is a must for synth and soundtrack fans alike. It has an incredible decaying air to it and is up there in my albums of the year already. Without being too lazy, this is one for fans of John Carpenter, Rob & Tangerine Dream. Listen here.



MO'S PICK OF THE WEEK

Michael Giacchino is an absolute beast right now. I trust most of you have had a chance to see at least one of the three films he scored this summer (TOMORROWLAND, JURASSIC WORLD & INSIDE OUT). While I'm quite partial to JURASSIC WORLD for obvious reasons, I am absolutely in love with his soundtrack for INSIDE OUT. The main theme to that film has been stuck on loop in my head, and on my Spotify. If you haven't listened to it yet, even if you haven't seen the film, give it a listen. It's an ear-worm, and it gives me goosebumps on a daily basis.
