From singer Ezra Haynes: “The song Biomech was influenced by a Coloradoan girl who at a young age was diagnosed with optic nerve hypoplasia, or ONH, a condition where optic nerves don’t develop properly in the womb. As a result of that and facing total blindness, she needed to find treatment and that’s where stem cell research comes in. Stem cell research being the highly controversial subject that it is in United States led her to seek treatment in China funded by fundraisers held in Colorado. By using stem cell research Chinese scientists were able to grow the optic nerve needed for her vision.

The approach taken in writing the lyrics to Biomech is putting yourself in the shoes of the struggle, not being able to find treatment for your illness due to someone else’s beliefs. Ultimately the naysayer ends up with an illness in which a stem cell procedure is their only hope.”

“He Walks By Night” – Listen to a Brand New John Carpenter Song NOW!

Published

John Carpenter music

It’s a new day, and you’ve got new John Carpenter to listen to. John Carpenter, Daniel Davies and Cody Carpenter have released the new track He Walks By Night this morning, the second single off their upcoming album Lost Themes IV: Noir, out May 3 on Sacred Bones Records.

Lost Themes IV: Noir is the latest installment in a series that sees Carpenter releasing new music for John Carpenter movies that don’t actually exist. The first Lost Themes was released in 2015, followed by Lost Themes II in 2016 and Lost Themes III: Alive After Death in 2021.

Sacred Bones previews, “It’s been a decade since John Carpenter recorded the material that would become Lost Themes, his debut album of non-film music and the opening salvo in one of Hollywood’s great second acts. Those vibrant, synth-driven songs, made in collaboration with his son Cody Carpenter and godson Daniel Davies, kickstarted a musical renaissance for the pioneering composer and director. With Lost Themes IV: Noir, they’ve struck gold again, this time mining the rich history of the film noir genre for inspiration.

“Since the first Lost Themes, John has referred to these compositions as “soundtracks for the movies in your mind.” On the fourth installment in the series, those movies are noirs. Like the film genre they were influenced by, what makes these songs “noirish” is sometimes slippery and hard to define, and not merely reducible to a collection of tropes. The scores for the great American noir pictures were largely orchestral, while the Carpenters and Davies work off a sturdy synth-and-guitar backbone.

“The trio’s free-flowing chemistry means Lost Themes IV: Noir runs like a well-oiled machine—the 1951 Jaguar XK120 Roadster from Kiss Me Deadly, perhaps, or the 1958 Plymouth Fury from John’s own Christine. It’s a chemistry that’s helped power one of the most productive stretches of John’s creative life, and Noir proves that it’s nowhere near done yielding brilliant results.”
