I like some good music. Enjoy the official details below.
LOS ANGELES – February 28, 2023 – iam8bit is thrilled to announce that it will release The Red Lantern’s gorgeous soundtrack as an exclusive vinyl album. Composer Hrishikesh Hirway’s instrumental soundscape is a relaxing experience that may have listeners reaching for a blanket – even if they haven’t yet played Timberline Studios’ contemplative sled-dogging journey.
The Red Lantern shares the story of the Musher (Ashly Burch), who moves to Alaska looking for a fresh start in the unforgiving wilderness. Her journey of perseverance and self-discovery is enhanced through its soundtrack, which captures the shushing of the sled gliding through snow and the loneliness – and freedom – that comes with being the only person on the trail. Hrishikesh Hirway (Song Exploder, The One AM Radio) composed and recorded The Red Lantern’s soundtrack, providing a welcome bit of warmth amid Alaska’s unrelenting cold.
The Red Lantern soundtrack features 14 tracks, including the bonus track “Holiday Lights,” pressed on Aurora Purple vinyl. It’s tucked into a sleeve with dazzling art from Haley bbanditt Wakefield that perfectly captures snowy sunsets and the majestic Northern Lights in the night sky. The center labels add a touch of whimsy, with a sled-dog team that runs in circles as the record plays. The album is now available for pre-order at iam8bit.com for $31.99 and is expected to ship in Q2 2023.
