Available as a limited pressing of 250 CDs, Howlin' Wolf Records proudly present BC Smith's score for Djinn.
For this world-premiere release of the soundtrack to Djinn, BC Smith has created a chilling, evocative backdrop comprising of sparse, otherworldly electronic palettes, meticulously layered in a complex yet cohesive sonic confection to heighten the suspense and underline the heroine's gradual descent into madness.
Juxtaposed against these vividly jagged textures are passages of warmth and melodic charm, underlining scenes of family and love, coloured by that most domestic of musical instruments, the piano.
For Tobe Hooper's final film, Smith has crafted a modern vernacular for an ancient evil, at once vivid and poignant, thoughtful and provocative.
Djinn features liner notes written by composer BC Smith with a forward by Benjamin Chee, all beautifully packaged with designs by Javier Burgos.
