Even voorstellen - John Carpenter - ‘Anthology II’

JOHN CARPENTER
- Announces ‘Anthology II (Movie Themes 1976-1988)’
- Out October 6th on Sacred Bones
- “chariots of pumpkins”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MxwOCDeuWw

John Carpenter announces the release of a new collection, 'Anthology II (Movie Themes 1976-1988)', set for release on October 6th via Sacred Bones.

By now everyone should know, John Carpenter is not only a celebrated filmmaker but also a musical maestro whose soundtracks have become synonymous with the genres of horror, suspense, and science fiction. His innate talent for composition and his deep understanding of how music can elevate storytelling have left an indelible mark on the world of cinema, and a haunting presence in people’s record collections.

‘Anthology II’ continues the celebration of his compositional genius via an excellently sequenced collection of some of his most iconic pieces of music from his extensive filmography, all newly recorded with his musical collaborators Daniel Davies and Cody Carpenter.

Along with the announcement comes the album opener “Chariots of Pumpkins” from Halloween III, a track that perfectly captures the eerie essence of the cult classic film with its pulsating synths and haunting melodies, engulfing the listener in a sense of unease and anticipation. The accompanying visualiser was made by Adam Fuchs and Chris Bilheimer.

Speaking on the track, Carpenter comments: “This piece was made for someone else’s movie, the Tommy Lee Wallace directed Halloween III. I don’t remember what his specific direction for me was for the main titles, but I wanted to reflect a kind of science fiction feel. The sound has been updated and it was fun to redo this song. The three of us using modern and updated sounds and production has influenced the overall feel of the song.”

Hear “Chariots of Pumpkins” here: https://youtu.be/8MxwOCDeuWw
After “Chariots of Pumpkins”, the listener is thrust into "69th St. Bridge" from Escape From New York, a dynamic track that encapsulates the futuristic and gritty nature of the film and the intensity and urgency of the protagonist's mission via the use of throbbing bass lines, driving rhythms, and electronic textures. A sense of adventure and excitement follows with "The Alley (War)" from Big Trouble in Little China, a track that combines Eastern-inspired motifs with rock and synth elements. The track evokes fantasy and humor, a purposeful emotion that carries on to"Wake Up" from They Live with its driving rhythm, rock riffs and overarching rebellious energy.

Carpenter’s ability to create tension through minimalist and repetitive musical motifs is a famous trademark of his that is evident in tracks such as "Julie's Dead" from Assault on Precinct 13 and "The Shape Enters Laurie's Room" from Halloween II - with the former displaying a more sparse yet effective instrumentation and the latter some ominous dissonant synths to create that much needed tension and fear for the iconic villain’s approach. The record lays on the intensity with tracks like "Love at a Distance" from Prince of Darkness, with its haunting choral arrangements and ambient textures that reflect the film's supernatural and apocalyptic themes, and "The Shape Stalks Again" from Halloween II, a relentless and suspenseful track with stabbing and repetitive synths that fittingly accompany the relentless pursuit of Michael Myers.

The record has a more isolating tone as it skulks through ambient leaning tracks such as “Fuchs" and “To Mac's Shack" from The Thing, and "Walk to the Lighthouse" from The Fog, all of which display a slower tempo, foreboding undertones and an ethereal atmosphere that feels like a distant whisper. All of which has been cautiously laid in preparation to the grand finale. The iconic and instantly recognizable "Laurie's Theme" from the original Halloween. Its simple yet menacing piano melody which has become synonymous with the horror genre, concludes the album by striking fear into the hearts of listeners.

Worth a special mention is that the three tracks from The Thing are lost cues, previously unreleased and now re-recorded. The Thing marks one of the rare occasions that John Carpenter stepped away from scoring duties and entrusted the task to another composer, the legendary Ennio Morricone. However, Carpenter felt that the film could benefit by the inclusion of additional music and took the initiative to record multiple synth driven cues in his renowned scoring style and edit them into the film.

Everything has been cautiously laid in preparation for the grand finale - the iconic and instantly recognizable ”Laurie's Theme" from the original Halloween. Its simple yet menacing piano melody which has become synonymous with the horror genre, concludes the album by striking fear into the hearts of listeners.

These tracks represent just a fraction of John Carpenter's impressive musical repertoire. His ability to capture the essence of his films through evocative melodies, atmospheric soundscapes, and innovative use of synths has solidified his status as one of the most influential composers in the history of cinema. With each haunting note and pulsating beat, his soundtracks continue to resonate with audiences, forever etching his name in the annals of film music history.

Even voorstellen - Jeriko - Sick days
JERIKO, dat is een tienvoetige band uit Gent/Liedekerke die catchy indie-rock combineert met warme synths, krokante vocals en teksten over het reilen en zeilen van de menselijke psyche.

Afgelopen vrijdag lieten we onze debuutsingle  ‘Sick Days’ met bijhorende clip op de wereld los.
JERIKO - Sick Days (Official Video) - YouTube

Het nummer brengt een ode aan het toeval. Ongeluk, miserie en malchance zitten steeds ergens achter een hoekje te wachten en kunnen je elk moment overvallen of toch maar sparen. Deze gedachte kan bijzonder verlammend werken, terwijl ze vrij zinloos is. Dit gevoel van ongetemperde angst voor het onbekende wordt in het nummer bezongen, eerst heel rustig om daarna op een climax te eindigen.
In bijhorende videoclip proberen wij het absurde van het toeval in beeld te brengen door in de huid te kruipen van vijf hotelbedienden. Deze voeren voortdurend nutteloze taken uit voor een dame die in diepe rouw is voor een gestorven kat. Uiteindelijk loopt dit voor beide partijen slecht af.

We stellen onze single, samen met de rest van ons reportoire, voor op een release-show. Deze vindt plaats op 22 september in STAM X Denderleeuw. De support wordt die avond verzorgd door de heren van Sad Boys Klub.

Pias news - CIVIC  releases new single “Hourglass”

WATCH THE OFFICIAL VIDEO
CIVIC - Hourglass [Official Video] - YouTube
Electrifying Belgium Stages this winter!
New Studio Album ‘Taken By Force’ is out now

“Relentless, aggressive in-your-face punk jams. Think Shame, Fontaines D.C., and IDLES, but Australian.”

On the heels of their acclaimed album, Taken By Force, released earlier this year on ATO Records, CIVIC are thrilled to bring their blistering live show to stages across the US for the FIRST TIME ever this fall. One of the most exhilarating bands to emerge in recent years, the Melbourne-based act made their name as a captivating live act defined by masterfully controlled chaos, embarking on a European tour in 2019. Their frenetic live show will serve up a vital new energy, joyfully obliterating the line between furious catharsis and unbridled fun. The tour will include stops in New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Seattle and more as well as appearances at LEVITATION Festival and Gonerfest.

Hailed by Sterogum as “an unholy lo-fi pile-up of garage rock, punk, and ’90s-style noise-rock,” CIVIC have unleashed their blistering new single “Hourglass” alongside an official video today. Frontman Jim McCullough shares, “Off the back of Taken By Force we wanted to create something new, an evolution of sound for us. We’d dropped down to a 4 piece so already Lewis had more space to come through with his guitar parts, be more experimental, less chaotic; more defined. Lyrically I am touching on aspects of change, more specifically the process during change. Going through some kind of shit and sediment and coming out the other side; a hopeful development of a refined version. We start again”
