“John was top of our wishlist but we never really thought he’d reply, let alone that he’d send back something better than the original.”
“On every album, we get “remixes” but given the themes of this record, we had the idea that maybe we could get a song reimagined by a composer who has worked in that cinematic universe,” she continues. “His films and music have been so impactful on us over the years, and without the stories he created, I am not sure that the concept of Screen Violence (and female narratives within the album) would exist in the way they do. “As horror fans, we know that John Carpenter is the godfather and the gold standard so we’re so excited to get to work with him in any capacity,” said CHVRCHES’ frontwoman Lauren Mayberry. You can listen to that track here.īoth remixes are available digitally now and will be released on 7” vinyl on December 10 – available to pre-order via Sacred Bones now. In turn, CHVRCHES has reworked John Carpenter’s “Turning The Bones”, taken from his recently released album, Lost Themes III: Alive After Death. The iconic film director of The Thing, Halloween, Escape From New York, They Live, In the Mouth of Madness and many more genre-defining horror classics, and legendary actor, screenwriter and composer, John Carpenter, has reworked CHVRCHES’ recent single “Good Girls”. The Scottish synth-pop band has teamed up with John Carpenter for two extra special remixes. If you think of it with regard to the '80s, well, it's probably here.I’ve been looking for an excuse to cover the forthcoming CHVRCHES album, Screen Violence, out August 27th through Glassnote Records, and now have more than reason.
But the show's music is still completely in-tune with the vibes of the original films. Cobra Kai might find Johnny Lawrence ( William Zabka) and Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) 34 years after their Karate Kid days living in the 2020 (ok, 20) present. That doesn't mean the spirit isn't still there, though. But, damn it, Cobra Kaiis here, and through two seasons has managed to have a badass soundtrack full of '80s bangers, and somehow hasn't played that old theme song even once. It's hard to think of music from The Karate Kid without thinking of the classic theme song from the original, "You're The Best" by Joe Esposito. Check out every song featured in the series below.The series not only follows the events of The Karate Kid movies, but keeps with their spirit musically-the soundtrack is full of '80s jams that Johnny Lawrence would definitely love.
The first two seasons of Cobra Kai are now streaming on Netflix.
