Clint Mansell – Happy New Year, Colin Burstead Original Soundtrack

Description

Vinyl LP pressing. 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’. Clint Mansell is known for his work on Black Mirror: San Junipero, Moon, Pi, Requiem For a Dream, High Rise and many more. Happy New Year, Colin Burstead will make it’s debut at the London Film Festival before publicly premiering on BBC2 this December.
