Description
Suspiria consists of 25 original compositions written by Thom Yorke specifically for Luca Guadagninos reimagining of the 1977 Dario Argento horror classic. The album is a mix of instrumental score work, interstitial pieces and interludes and more traditional song structures featuring Thoms vocals, such as Unmade, Has Ended and Suspirium, featuring the melodic theme that recurs throughout the film and its score.
As scoring a horror film presented Thom with altogether new challenges and opportunities, Suspiria stands apart from any of his other work. Piano/vocal ballads, Krautrock-esque modular synth work inspired by the films Berlin 1977 setting, multilayered vocals and melodies that convey terror, longing and melancholy combine to create a chaotic yet cohesive musical spell.
Suspiria was written and arranged by Thom Yorke, recorded and produced by Thom and Sam Petts-Davies. The album also features the London Contemporary Orchestra and Choir, Noah Yorke on drums on Has Ended and Volk and Pasha Mansurov on solo flute on Suspirium.
2LP pressed on pink vinyl.
