Scary Muzak

Analog synthesizers and drum machines reimagining classic slasher themes. A sleek, neon-drenched tribute to 1980s horror cinema through a modern Norwegian lens.

October 31, 2021 · House of Mythology

A sleek, synthetic dread that feels both nostalgic for the 80s and coldly modern.

Moments Worth Listening For

The unmistakable 5/4 piano motif of the Halloween theme emerging through a thick wash of modern Norwegian electronics.

Stian Westerhus's guitar cutting through the synthetic fog with jagged, dissonant textures on the more experimental original tracks.

The transition into the heavy, Carpenter Brut-mixed percussion that gives the retro-synth leads a modern, club-ready weight.
