(Distro Title) Waxwork Recordsis proud to presentDOCTOR SLEEP Original Motion Picture Score Music by The Newton Brothers.DOCTOR SLEEPis a 2019 supernatural horror film written and directed byMike Flanagan(The Haunting of Hill House,Midnight Mass). It is based on the 2013Stephen Kingnovel of the same name, and it serves as a sequel toStanley Kubricks1980 Horror film,THE SHINING. StarringEwan McGregor,Rebecca Fergusonas Rose The Hat, andKyliegh Curran, the story follows a now adult Danny Torrance (McGregor) who possesses psychic abilities and is struggling with addiction. Still traumatized from his familys horrific 1980 ordeal at the Overlook Hotel, Danny Torrance is guided by the ghost of Dick Hollorann to capture the ghosts of The Overlook in lockboxes. Meanwhile, a traveling cult of psychics called The True Knot led by Rose The Hat (Ferguson) extend their lifespans by consuming steam, a psychic essence released by torturing and killing those who have the shining.

The score byThe Newton Brotherspays homage to the music heard in 1980sTHE SHININGcomposed byWendy Carlos(A Clockwork Orange,Tron) with tracks such as Dies Irae / Violet and The Overlook. Effectively capturing the feeling from parts ofTHE SHINING, the score toDOCTOR SLEEPalso creates a new, unique world for the characters and story. To create the score ofDOCTOR SLEEP,The Newton Brothersused experimental recording methods and instrumentation to sculpt an original and terrifying new sonic landscape.

In addition to a large scale orchestra and choir, the composing duo used instruments such as a 90 ft. high Aeolian Wind Harp, The Hurdy Gurdy Grand, chimes, various modular synthesizers, and a range of percussion. By usage of inventive and unorthodox instruments,The Newton Brotherseffectively created a distinctive sound for Dannys trauma, for the brutal and murderous traveling gypsies known as The True Knot, for Dannys psychic connection to characters within the story, and for the Overlook Hotel itself.

Waxwork Recordsis thrilled to release the original score toDOCTOR SLEEPbyThe Newton Brothersas a deluxe double LP featuring 180 gramPsychic Essence Steam colored vinyl(foggy clear with white smoke), high quality packaging with new artwork byMax Lffler, liner notes by the composers, a 12×12 booklet with behind the scenes scoring photography, and old style gatefold jackets with matte satin coating.
