In partnership with WaterTower Music, Waxwork Records is thrilled to present the premiere vinyl release of THE BRIDE! Original Motion Picture Soundtrack. Featuring original score music by Academy Award, Golden Globe, Emmy, and two-time Grammy, and BAFTA winning Icelandic composer Hildur Guðnadóttir (Joker, Chernobyl, 28 Years Later: Bone Temple, TÁR), with additional contributions by Fever Ray and Jake Gyllenhaal.
Waxwork Records proudly presents the premiere vinyl release as a deluxe double LP, designed to reflect the film’s striking visual identity and emotional intensity. Presented in heavyweight gatefold packaging, the record is meticulously produced in-house from concept through manufacturing and offered in “Inkblot” colored vinyl (deep black vinyl is threaded with smoky white veining to create a one-of-a-kind visual effect unique to each record). An exclusive 12" x 12" art print completes the package, offering collectors an immersive introduction to the film’s visual and sonic world
Guðnadóttir delivers a bold and emotionally charged score that blends orchestral grandeur with raw punk energy capturing the film’s sweeping romance, dangerous sensuality, and unflinching humanity.
Director, writer, and producer Maggie Gyllenhaal reflects on the creative process behind the music:
“It was hard to find the tone for the music in this movie, because it had to be both punk, not as a genre, but as a feeling and romantic. Deeply romantic and emotional, it had to be all those things. We also had to take these monsters, these iconic monsters, absolutely seriously. It’s not camp.
The tone of the music was really hard to land on. There wasn’t any temp music that worked in the language of the movie, so Hildur really had to invent it. And I think she found that mix of real punk and deep, deep romance.
We had Lee Ranaldo playing wild Sonic Youth-style guitar layered over full orchestra. We had David Murray playing saxophone alongside Fever Ray. None of those elements alone would have worked, it had to be a blend. This film is a weaving of genres and tones, and the music had to reflect that.”
Karin Dreijer of Fever Ray shares:
“I’m very thankful for being invited to this project by Maggie Gyllenhaal! I was a fan before, but when I read the manuscript for the first time, I was hooked. The language of The Bride! is poetic, fun and magical, exactly where I like to exist.”
ABOUT THE BRIDE:
From Maggie Gyllenhaal (Academy Award-nominated writer/director of The Lost Daughter) and starring Academy Award nominee Jessie Buckley and Academy Award winner Christian Bale comes THE BRIDE! A bold, iconoclastic take on one of the world’s most compelling stories. A lonely “Frank” (Bale) travels to 1930s Chicago to ask groundbreaking scientist Dr. Euphronious (five-time Oscar nominee Annette Bening) to create a companion for him. The two revive a murdered young woman and The Bride (Buckley) is born. What ensues is beyond what either of them imagined: Murder! Possession! A radical cultural movement! And outlaw lovers in a wild and combustible romance!
