{"title":"Daniel Davies","description":"\u003cp\u003eDaniel Davies is a Los Angeles-based guitarist, composer, and singer whose music has ranged from hard rock to horror soundtracks. The son of Kinks guitarist Dave Davies and godson of director\/composer John Carpenter, Davies has music and cinema in his blood. He spent much of the 2000s as the singer and guitarist of Year Long Disaster, a band influenced by '70s blues-rock and Southern rock, before briefly joining stoner rock heroes Karma to Burn during the early 2010s. He then kept busy composing music for various films and TV series throughout the decade, in addition to recording and performing with Carpenter, who started releasing non-soundtrack albums and touring in 2015. Davies' debut solo album, the imaginary soundtrack Events Score, appeared in 2018. In addition to releasing solo recordings such as 2021's Spies EP, he continued working with Carpenter on projects like the score to that year's Halloween Kills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDaniel Davies was born in London and spent much of his childhood on the road with his father's band as it toured the globe. His family moved to Los Angeles when he was 11, and after his parents split up, Davies lived with Carpenter during part of his adolescence. He learned to play guitar and drums as a high school student, and appeared on the soundtrack to Carpenter's 1998 film, Vampires. In 2003, Davies befriended Rich Mullins, bassist of the desert rock band Karma to Burn. Following a jam session with Third Eye Blind drummer Brad Hargreaves, the trio formed Year Long Disaster in 2004. With influences ranging from ZZ Top to Iron Maiden, the group built up a local following and signed to Volcom Entertainment in 2007, releasing their self-titled debut that year. They soon toured with Clutch, Turbonegro, and Motörhead, and released their second album, Black Magic; All Mysteries Revealed, in 2010. Also that year, Karma to Burn reunited and toured with Year Long Disaster before the two bands ultimately merged. While Karma to Burn were normally known as an instrumental band, Davies sang on the few vocal-based songs on the band's albums Appalachian Incantation (2010) and V (2011).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHidden Faces, Davies' self-released solo EP of moody, slightly proggy alternative rock songs, also appeared in 2011. Following its release, Davies briefly joined CKY, replacing former frontman Deron Miller. Davies toured with the group in 2012 and returned for a 2015 performance, and had begun to record new material with them but was unable to continue participating in CKY due to other commitments. Along with Geno Lenardo, he recorded much of the soundtrack for the 2014 film I, Frankenstein, and co-composed the score for 2015 horror-comedy Condemned with Sebastian Robertson. He also recorded music for several TV series and films, including a cover of Pixies' \"Wave of Mutilation\" for Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost notably, Davies worked with John Carpenter and his son Cody. The trio recorded Lost Themes, the director's first album of non-soundtrack material, which was released by Sacred Bones in 2015. The effort received critical acclaim and was followed by Lost Themes II in 2016. The trio toured behind the releases, marking Carpenter's first-ever live performances, and they revisited some of the director's signature tunes on 2017's Anthology (Movie Themes 1974-1998). In 2018, Davies released his first solo full-length, Events Score. As with the Lost Themes releases, the album isn't a soundtrack to an actual film, but it evokes the synth-driven scores of the '70s and '80s. His second solo album, Signals, was inspired by visual artist Jesse Draxler, who provided artwork for the release's cover and booklet. Sacred Bones issued Signals in 2020. Davies' Spies EP, recorded entirely solo during COVID-19 lockdown, appeared in 2021. That year, he also worked with John and Cody Carpenter on the score for Halloween Kills, which updated the legendary horror franchise's iconic music with an expanded sonic palette. ~ Paul Simpson, Rovi\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"john-carpenter-cody-carpenter-daniel-davies-halloween-kills-original-soundtrack-colored-vinyl-orange","title":"| Halloween Kills (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) (Limited Edition Orange LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003eIn 2018, David Gordon Green’s Halloween, starring icon Jamie Lee Curtis, slaughtered the box office, earning more than $250million worldwide, becoming the highest-grossing chapter in the four-decade franchise and setting a new record for the biggest opening weekend in history for a horror film starring a woman.

Carpenter serves on the new David Gordon Green-directed installment as an executive producer, a creative consultant, and, thrillingly, as a soundtrack composer, alongside his collaborators from his three recent solo albums, Cody Carpenter and Daniel Davies. The new soundtrack pays homage to the classic Halloween score that Carpenter composed and recorded in 1978, when he forever changed the course of horror cinema and synthesizer music with his low-budget masterpiece. Several new versions of the iconic main theme serve as the pulse of Green’s film, its familiar 5\/4 refrain stabbing through the soundtrack like the Shape’s knife. The rest of the soundtrack is just as enthralling, incorporating everything from atmospheric synth whooshes to eerie piano-driven pieces to skittering electronic percussion. While the new score was made with a few more resources than Carpenter’s famously shoestring original, its musical spirit was preserved. “We wanted to honor the original Halloween soundtrack in terms of the sounds we used,” Davies explained. “We used a lot of the Dave Smith OB-6, bowed guitar, Roland Juno, Korg, Roli, Moog, Roland System 1, Roland System 8, different guitar pedals, mellotron, and piano.” Unlike the Lost Themes albums, where the composers wrote the soundtracks for imaginary movies, Halloween saw the Carpenters and Davies collaborating on music set to images for the first time. Though it marked a significant change from their previous creative process, the trio thrived under the constraints and tight deadlines that film scoring work demands. “Being limited by the length of time in scoring the sequence, we focused on the director’s tempo, timing, and vision,” Davies said. “He would tell us what he had in mind, how long the cue should be, what emotion he wanted, and we would take it from there. It’s only the three of us, there is no elaborate system. We wrote, performed, and orchestrated everything.” For John Carpenter, who reunited on the new film with original Halloween star Jamie Lee Curtis, composing the score felt like a homecoming. Not only had he not worked on a Halloween movie in 35 years, he hadn’t composed a soundtrack since his 2001 sci-fi thriller Ghosts of Mars. “It was great,” Carpenter said of the experience. “It was transforming. It was not a movie I directed, so I had a lot of freedom in creating the score and getting into the director's head. I was proud to serve David Gordon Green’s vision.” For Cody Carpenter, John’s son, and Davies, his godson, it was surreal to work on something that means so much to generations of fans, and that they grew up around. “It was an honor for us to be involved, and we are really happy to be a part of something that so many people are anticipating and excited about,” Davies said. “Working together with both the director of the new Halloween and the creator of the original Halloween was really a fantastic experience.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003eJohn Carpenter didn't direct the 2018 installment of the Halloween series (previously described by its makers as a \"recalibration\" rather than a reboot), but he did provide the music for the film. As the film stays true to the 1978 original, even casting Nick Castle as Michael Myers for the first time in four decades, the soundtrack is in the same spirit of the original, only performed with Carpenter's touring and recording partners (his son Cody Carpenter and Daniel Davies), and with a much bigger budget. The iconic Halloween theme pops up in several iterations, and in much higher definition than in the original. Aside from that, there are plenty of sharp, effective scare sequences like \"Michael Kills Again\" and \"Ray's Goodbye.\" While familiar-sounding, the soundtrack brings something new to the table instead of being a pointless retread, and in general, it just sounds amazing. Definitely worthwhile for any Carpenter or Halloween fans.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u2028Tracklist\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003eA1        Intro\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA2        Halloween Theme\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA3        Laurie's Theme\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA4        Prison Montage\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA5        Michael Kills\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA6        Michael Kills Again\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA7        The Shape Returns\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA8        The Bogeyman\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA9        The Shape Kills\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA10        Laurie Sees The Shape\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA11        Wrought Iron Fence\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA12        The Shape Hunts Allyson\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA13        Allyson Discovered\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB1        Say Something\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB2        Ray's Goodbye\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB3        The Shape Is Monumental\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB4        The Shape And Laurie Fight\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB5        The Grind\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB6        Trap The Shape\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB7        The Shape Burns\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB8        Halloween Triumphant\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003e*Audio and\/or tracklist may vary slightly from the vinyl version.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003eLabel: SACRED BONES\u003cbr\u003e\r\nRel.
