Laurel Halo is releasing her debut score – for the 2018 Metahaven-produced film Possessed – this April The Vinyl Factory.
“The soundtrack traverses both the synthetic and acoustic, in keeping with the film’s tension between what is natural and unnatural.”
Its 13-compositions range “from aqueous, subterranean drones and plaintive folk pieces for violin and cello, to pseudoclassical piano mutations.”
Limited to 500 copies, the score will be released on 2xLP, with a Possessed film poster insert and vinyl only track, ‘Last Seen (Reprise)’, as well as a printed inner sleeve, featuring cover artwork by Metahaven.
