Last November, we announced that iconic genre filmmaker and composer John Carpenter had completed an album of new music entitled John Carpenter’s Lost Themes that would be released by indie label Sacred Bones Records. The album consists of nine instrumental tracks Carpenter recorded in collaboration with his son and Ludrium frontman Cody Carpenter and musician Daniel Davies.

With Lost Themes set to drop a week from Tuesday, National Public Radio (NPR) has made the full album available for free streaming on their website. Check out one of the songs, “Night,” embedded here below.

John Carpenter is pushing 70 and, sadly, he doesn’t direct very much anymore. At this rate he may possibly never direct another film. But early next year he’ll be able to satisfy one of the greatest cravings of his massive fan base when John Carpenter’s Lost Themes is released from the indie record label Sacred Bones. An album featuring nine never-before-heard tracks of music the veteran director created in collaboration with the assistance of his son and Ludrium frontman Cody Carpenter and musician Daniel Davies.

The first track from the album, “Vortex,” is currently being streamed for free at the Sacred Bones website. You can listen to the song here below, as well as take a gander at the official album art.
