Happy New Year, Colin Burstead: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

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 Sakamoto’s Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence.
