Clint Mansell - Happy New Year, Colin Burstead [CD]

• CD Digipack

Clint Mansell’s score to Ben Wheatley’s 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.
