Description

The soundtrack to the Netflix original movie 1922, based on the Stephen King novella.

The movie is based on the 131-page story telling of a mans confession of his wifes murder. The tale is told from the perspective of Wilfred James, the storys unreliable narrator who admits to killing his wife Arlette with his son in Nebraska. However, after he buries her body he finds himself terrorized by rats and, as his life begins to unravel, becomes convinced his wife is haunting him.

Mike Patton (Faith No More, Tomahawk, Fantomas, Peeping Tom) composed the score and this soundtrack release features music from the film as well as expanded tracks that didnt make the cut.

Heavily orchestral, with rich, funereal strings, the score is punctuated by distinctly Pattonian touches, such as bursts of jarring dissonance and a skittering strain of percussion thats eerily dreadinducing. Previously, Patton composed the scores for The Place Beyond The Pines and Crank: High Voltage.

Hardwood coloured vinyl LP.
