Ariel Pink has released his latest musical contribution, “Hall of Screams”.
The contributory song belong to the soundtrack for Heaven Knows What, a film by Josh and Benny Safide. According to Stereogum, “Hall of Screams”, is to be paired with the digital single for “I Need Minute” which was Pink’s contribution in the film’s soundtrack. When the digital release of “I Need a Minute” breathes life, it will be paired with the new “Hall of Screams”.
This is what Ariel Pink had to say on the subject of contributing to the film:
“In a stucco tile peeling off the corner – short circuit neon flickers on a cracked mirror over a scuzzy fossitwith pubic hairs encrusted in heaven’s Mcdonald’s… The ecstasy of a locked door. The moments of personal bliss away from the noise of the wretched streets. red bull logo – it’s serenity. synthetic artificial candy opiated bliss. cough drop. Christmas eve temporary relief – warmth found in the bosom of a bathroom of a department store (via Stereogum).”
With a dark and ominous intro, it is extremely reminiscent to the intro on Marilyn Manson’s, Portrait of an American Family. With sounds that go bump in the night and a seriously slow but enchanting beginning, “Hall of Screams” is going to take you on a ride. The only question is where to? With hints of David Lynch’s Lost Highway soundtrack, mixed with the unique and somewhat out-of-place- sounds that show themselves on that soundtrack, “Hall of Screams”, definitely delivers a spooky instrumental journey.
The instrumental piece takes listeners on a “fun-house” like adventure.
