Fan favorite dark dance outfit Boy Harsher have contributed a sumptuously
eerie track for the David Gordon Green directed finale to the iconic Halloween
franchise. Sacred Bones and Nude Club (Boy Harsher’s imprint) are joining
forces and releasing a proper 12” maxi single containing four versions of the track
“Burn it Down,” to be released in tandem with the original score provided by
John Carpenter, Cody Carpenter, and Daniel Davies.
Boy Harsher said of the experience: “During an extremely brief period of rest between tours, we got this call from the music supervisor of Halloween. The director,
David Gordon Green, had listened to our music and wanted to use something
for the final installment in the trilogy - Halloween Ends. We flew to New York
the next day to meet the team and discuss the possibilities. It was totally surreal.
Obviously we’re huge fans of Carpenter and the franchise is a fav, but to work
with Gordon Green was also so special, his early films (George Washington,
Undertow, Snow Angels) were heavy influences on our work. The real kicker is that
Halloween Ends was shot in Savannah, GA - the birthplace of Boy Harsher and
where we met. Unbelievable. It all felt too synchronous, and we knew we had to
make something work although we were about to leave for a multi-month tour
that week. We flew home to Massachusetts, dug through old demos, and found
“Burn It Down”. In the end it was the perfect energy for the bittersweet love affair
between Allyson and Corey, so during a couple days off - we cleaned it up and
made it come alive.”
