John Carpenter

Out today and shipping now! To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Lost Themes II, @SacredBones is proud to present a new expanded art edition of @TheHorrorMaster ’ s acclaimed second album of non-soundtrack compositions. Featuring newly commissioned artwork by Randy Ortiz, this anniversary edition pairs the original album with a bonus 7” containing “Real Xeno,” now available on vinyl outside its original, limited Sacred Bones Society release for the first time. The B-side features an exclusive etched design created especially for this edition.

Available as our Sacred Bones exclusive Blue & Magenta Plasma LP and 7-inch. Limited to 850. Grab your copy while they last! Our friends at @codacurates also carry their own exclusive variant on Red Smoke LP and Red 7-inch.

Released in 2016, Lost Themes II broadened the sonic world of its predecessor, pairing Carpenter’s unmistakable gift for atmosphere and suspense with his trademark minimal synth, richer arrangements, and electric and acoustic guitars. Free from the constraints of the screen, the Lost Themes series has taken on a life of its own, becoming one of the defining chapters of Carpenter’s career and expanding his legacy far beyond film scores. A decade on, Lost Themes II remains a landmark in the series and an essential work in Carpenter’s catalog, a testament to his musical vision and remarkable ability to create worlds that extend far beyond film. #vinyl #limitededition #horrormusic #johncarpenter

Born from a nightmare, Cathedral summons listeners into a hallucinatory world of dread and darkness. Unfolding as a series of episodes tied to an abandoned church, Carpenter’s heaviest and most ominous work yet is the score to the movie in his mind.
