It’s been a decade since John Carpenter recorded the material that would become “Lost Themes,” his debut album of non-film music and the opening salvo in one of Hollywood’s great second acts. Those vibrant, synth-driven songs, made in collaboration with his son Cody Carpenter and godson Daniel Davies, kickstarted a musical renaissance for the pioneering composer and director. In the years since, Carpenter, Carpenter and Davies have released close to a dozen musical projects, including a growing library of studio albums and the scores for David Gordon Green’s trilogy of Halloween reboots. With “Lost Themes IV: Noir,” they’ve struck gold again, this time mining the rich history of the film noir genre for inspiration.
To celebrate the occasion we have three limited edition merch items, all designed by frequent Carpenter collaborator Boneface, up for pre-order now. We have the Evil Eye T-Shirt, the Death’s Door T-shirt, and a super special flip top lighter. Releasing with the records on May 3rd, order them while supplies last!
