MORRICONE YOUTH have been a solid fixture of the NYC music/film scene since forming in 1999, and have composed/re-interpreted and performed over 100 soundtracks live to film screenings.
Beginning a series of vinyl releases by the band, NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD is a superb re-score featuring original compositions by the band (led by DEVON LEVINS, host of WFMUs long-running soundtrack show 'Morricone Island') which range from eerie synth/guitar cues to full-on bangers that recall Fantomas in 'Director's Cut' mode. The album also features a couple of gnarly, synthed-up versions of iconic cues from the original library soundtrack.
To celebrate this release, Ondes Positives' artist Scott Johannsson has created a unique, one-off gatefold sleeve housing a test pressing of the album, featuring hand-cut window panes, 3D lettering, hand-painted effects and elements of the original sleeve art. The first 25 orders received will be entered into a lottery to win this artist edition to go alongside their standard LP.

Original live score to Lotte Reineger's 1926 animated masterpiece

The second vinyl release by MORRICONE YOUTH is this superb reinterpretation of Lotte Reineger's silhouette animation fairy tale - the first feature length animated film. Their music here is powerful and bewitching, ranging across swooning exotica, twangin' surf and dub-heavy afro-funk - imagine a potent blend of Korla Pandit, Pram, Martin Denny and Mulatu Astatke.
To celebrate this release, Ondes Positives' artist Scott Johannsson has created a unique, one-off gatefold sleeve to house the LP, featuring hand-cut silhouette images based on Lotte Reiniger's designs, glitter effects, a printed acetate window and elements of the original album art. The first 25 orders received will be entered into a lottery to win this alternate sleeve for their record.
