HOUSE/HAUSU/VINYLE COULEUR SANGRIA TOURBILLON 180GR

Description

Waxwork Records is honored to release the HOUSE Original Motion Picture Soundtrack! HOUSE is a Japanese film directed by Nobuhiko Obayashi, released in 1977. The plot follows a schoolgirl traveling with her six friends to her sick aunt's country house, where they encounter supernatural events as the girls are, one by one, devoured by the house. The HOUSE soundtrack features original music by Asei Kobayashi, Mickie Yoshino, and Yoshino's rock band, Godiego. This now-classic soundtrack effectively draws you into a false sense of security. Starting with upbeat sing-along pop songs and cheerful tracks like "Buggie Boogie" and "Cherries Were Made For Eating," the soundtrack slowly transforms into a dark soundscape of chaos and psychedelia. The second half of the soundtrack offers a juxtaposed tone that paves the way for dismemberment, man-eating pianos, flashing colors, hallucinatory visions, and the liters of blood seen in the film. In a successful attempt to attract a younger audience, Obayashi asked Yoshino to include tracks from his rock band Godiego, which also makes an appearance in the film. Merging elements of funk, jazz, rock, and romantic ballads, the soundtrack captures the absurd and whimsical nature of HOUSE, contrasting with its experimental scenes of horror and madness. To celebrate the film's 45th anniversary, Waxwork Records is thrilled to officially present the HOUSE Original Motion Picture Soundtrack for the first time outside of Japan, and reissued for the first time outside of Japan since its debut in 1977. Complete with 180 grams of two split-color vinyl with splatter color, deluxe packaging, new artwork by Jake Foreman, heavy jackets with a matte finish, 12" x 12" art print, and more!
