The legendary composer put the album together with son Cody Carpenter and Daniel Davies
World renowned film score composer John Carpenter has just released his new album, ‘Lost Themes IV: Noir.’ He was assisted in its creation by son Cody Carpenter and additional collaborator Daniel Davies, son of The Kinks’ Dave Davies.
The LP is the latest in a series of non-film music from the trio, that got its first instalment in 2015. The record is “loosely inspired by the noir genre” and “marks new territory for Carpenter and his cohorts, imbibing their trademark synth hooks and pulsing drum machine with propulsive post punk basslines and smouldering guitar solos.”
In the years since the release of the initial ‘Lost Themes’, Carpenter, Carpenter, and Davies have released close to a dozen musical projects, including the scores for David Gordon Green’s trilogy of ‘Halloween’ reboots, among others.
The chemistry between the trio “helped power one of the most productive stretches of John’s creative life, yielding brilliant results.”
‘Lost Themes IV: Noir’ is out now via Sacred Bones. You can stream/buy it here.
