Happy New Year, Colin Burstead (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) (CD)
Barcode: 5051083141420
Acclaimed contemporary film composer Clint Mansell returns to score Ben Wheatley's brand new film 'Happy New Year, Colin Burstead'
Mansell's score is a hypnotic and ethereal wash, built around organic instruments including insistent strings with a Celtic flavour and a brilliant use of woodwinds. The score slowly descends into something twisted and dissonant at points, beautifully laying a nod to Wheatley's interest in folk horror. Toward the end, the score features '[exeunt]', a beautiful piano piece reminiscent of Ryuichi Nakamoto's 'Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence'.
The vinyl is housed in a deluxe spined sleeve, complete with double sided printed inner bag and digital download card included. The score is pressed on 'Off White' coloured vinyl.
