Horror icon John Carpenter has released a stream of his track Distant Dream.
It’s lifted from his album Lost Themes II, which is set for release on April 15 via Sacred Bones Records.
The track by the film director, producer and composer, who created the theme to horror classic Halloween, is described as “one of Carpenter’s creepiest works to date” and a “perfect sci-fi fever dream, built on swelling synthesiser and pulsing drum machine.”
Carpenter will hit to the road in support of Lost Themes II later this year, and will take part in the ATP Halloween event Release The Bats in the UK in October.
Lost Themes II is available for pre-order.
