Thom Yorke "Open Again"

This week saw the release of “Open Again,” the fourth song to be released in advance of Thom Yorke’s Suspiria (Music for the Luca Guadagnino Film).  

Suspiria (Music for the Luca Guadagnino Film) will be released October 26 on XL Recordings. Suspiria… consists of 25 original compositions written by Thom specifically for Luca Guadagnino's reimagining of the 1977 Dario Argento horror classic. The album is a mix of instrumental score work, interstitial pieces and interludes, and more traditional song structures featuring Thom’s vocals including the new “Open Again” and previously released “Suspirium,” the latter featuring the melodic theme that recurs throughout the film and its score.

As scoring a horror film presented Thom Yorke with altogether new challenges and opportunities, Suspiria stands apart from any of his other work. Piano/vocal ballads, Krautrock-esque modular synth work

inspired by the film’s Berlin 1977 setting, multilayered vocals, and melodies that convey terror, longing and melancholy combine to create a chaotic yet cohesive musical spell. Suspiria was written and arranged by Thom Yorke, recorded and produced by Thom Yorke and Sam Petts-Davies. The album also features the London Contemporary Orchestra and Choir, Noah Yorke on drums on “Volk” and “Has Ended,” and Pasha Mansurov on solo flute on “Suspirium.”  Suspiria (Music for the Luca Guadagnino Film) will be available across digital platforms, as well as 2 LP gatefold package pink vinyl and 2-CD physical versions.
