Invada Records has announced that they are going to be releasing a vinyl version of the score to the 2015 adventure/thriller Camino (review), which starred Zoë Bell (Death Proof, Raze) and Nacho Vigalondo, who directed segments in V/H/S: Viral and The ABC’s of Death.
Composed by Kreng (Cooties), the music of Camino calls to mind the works of Nine Inch Nails, Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, and even elements of Aphex Twin and Mogwai. Mixing digital elements with analog warmth, there is a beauty to this music that is absolutely captivating.
Directed by Josh Waller, who also produced Cooties, Camino follows, “…a photojournalist who gets more than she bargained for when she snaps a photo of a shadowy religious figure in the jungles of Colombia, triggering a flight-and fight-for her life…”

Kreng explains, “We really wanted the first 20 minutes of the film to feel like a well-made documentary about Avery Taggart and her life as a photographer. And then: BOOM, this awful scene comes along and the movie just turns itself inside out. What I tried to convey in that key scene was a choking sense of claustrophobia. From that point on there is no way back for Avery, she is trapped in the jungle and there is no way out.”
Invada Records Label Manager Redg Weeks shares his excitement for the record, telling us:
Kreng’s score to last years ‘Cooties’ movie was a firm office favourite for us at Invada HQ; So when the opportunity arose for us to release Kreng’s latest offering we jumped at the chance.
There are currently a handful of modern film scores that are breaking the mould from the traditional and often over-predictable generic format that seem to be churned out on demand. Kreng pays homage to past film score masters whilst keeping his ideas dynamic & interesting. The music on this LP could appeal way beyond soundtrack collectors and strike a chord with fans of experimental electronica & industrial fans.
Below we’ve got an exclusive first look at the gatefold design for the 2xLP transparent record, which includes a 12 page booklet, all designed by John Bergin. You can also listen to a sampler of the soundtrack above, out now on Lakeshore Records.
