Waxwork Records is proud to release the debut solo-album by Lia Braswell. 'Rising' marks Braswell's emergence as a primary songwriter, unveiling an ethereal dream-folk sound that emphasizes atmospheric melodies and introspection.

If Braswell’s name rings a bell, that’s because it should. Having done time as the touring drummer for A Place To Bury Strangers, TR/ST, Le Butcherettes, Sextile, and many others, Braswell has performed on nearly every continent and played internationally renowned festivals such as Coachella and Cruel World. As such, it should come as no surprise that her impressive resumé shines through in the expertly crafted, ethereal dream pop of Rising. Simultaneously evoking the airy, atmospheric sensibilities of Cocteau Twins, the pop-forward experimentation of Kate Bush, and the hyper-danceable, retro synthwave of contemporary artists like Riki and Nuovo Testamento, Braswell’s self-assured presence as both a songwriter and vocalist results in an effort that bears none of the awkward growing pains one might expect from a new project. Equally arresting is Braswell’s lyrical finesse, with profoundly evocative and delicately personal narratives elevating the already deeply affecting music to heights that border on the sublime.

Moving from the relative anonymity of a drum kit to the revealing illumination of center stage comes with its own unique set of anxiety-inducing challenges, but if Braswell is experiencing any trepidation, it certainly doesn’t show in the quality of her music. Then again, when you’ve already toured with Iggy and the Stooges by age 20, maybe embarking on a solo career seems quaint in comparison. What’s beyond debate is that Braswell has a remarkable knack for songwriting and performance that is self-evident on her stunning debut. Accomplished a career as it already, Rising feels like just one more step forward in an ever-growing body of work that is much greater than the sum of its parts.

From Lia Braswell:

"This record took years for me to write. I wrote every single day since 2013, which was the practice that helped me get through to the words and sentiment that would be able to condense such deep emotions into 4-5 minute songs. It’s an album from the depths of my heart and all that it’s been beating through."

Waxwork Records is thrilled to present 'Rising' as a deluxe double LP featuring three previously unreleased bonus tracks, "Zinnia" splatter colored vinyl, a heavyweight gatefold jacket with overall UV gloss coating, a vertical belly-band, a 12"x12" full color insert and lyric sheet, and an 18"x24" full color poster.

Waxwork Records is thrilled to present HOKUM Original Motion Picture Score by Joseph Bishara. Written and directed by Damien McCarthy, HOKUM stars Adam Scott and follows a misanthropic author who travels to a remote Irish inn to scatter his parents' ashes. He becomes trapped in a haunting mystery involving a boarded-up honeymoon suite, a local witch legend, and his own dark past. The film has been praised upon its release for its strong, quiet dread, atmosphere, and character-driven horror. It delves into themes of grief, Irish folklore, and childhood trauma.

Joseph Bishara is an American composer, music producer, and actor, best known for his work scoring films such as Insidious, The Conjuring, Malignant, and Annabelle. After an early influence of classical music, Bishara began experimenting with electronic and experimental music, becoming interested in groups such as Tangerine Dream. He became engrossed in horror scores after watching The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and Nosferatu. Bishara is known for his avant-garde style and unique approach to instrumentation and composition that suits horror films particularly well.

Joseph Bishara’s HOKUM score is driven by dark, dissonant strings, unsettling electronics, and haunting vocal choruses that gradually intensify, instilling a persistent sense of dread. Renowned for his expertise in sound design, Bishara fully leans into that craft, weaving elements seamlessly into the HOKUM composition. The result is a deeply immersive sonic experience in which the sound design doesn’t just accompany the score, it amplifies it, surrounding the listener in an oppressive atmosphere that mirrors the film’s dangerous subject matter.

Waxwork Records is proud to present HOKUM Original Motion Picture Score by Joseph Bishara as a deluxe LP set featuring "Honeymoon Suite" pearlescent blood-red and black swirled vinyl, a lenticular-effect front cover bringing "Jack The Donkey" in and out of the television screen artwork, heavyweight gatefold jackets with matte UV coating, printed inner sleeves, and all new artwork by Dane Hallett. Hallett's credits include concept design and art for such franchises as Alien, Mad Max, Predator, and Mortal Kombat.

In partnership with WaterTower Music, Waxwork Records marks their second collaboration with director Lee Cronin and composer Stephen McKeon with the release of Lee Cronin’s The Mummy (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) as a deluxe double LP. The release includes two limited-edition variants, Black Scorpion-filled and Sand-filled, alongside a wide-release Blood and Sand colored vinyl.

Stephen McKeon shares:

“With Lee Cronin’s The Mummy, the challenge was to create an emotional and expressive score built on strangled breaths, fingernails scraping against the inside of a sarcophagus and eruptions of uncontrolled rage; a kind of undead demonic orchestra that would worm its way under the skin and live inside the more traditional musical element.”

Producer Jason Blum shares:

"Stephen McKeon brought something genuinely special to Lee Cronin's The Mummy. A great score doesn't just support a film, it becomes part of it, and that's exactly what Stephen delivered. He's a remarkable talent and this score is proof of that.

Waxwork Records is proud to announce the release of THEY WILL KILL YOU (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), featuring original music by Grammy and 3x Emmy-winning composer Carlos Rafael Rivera. Blending aggressive synth work with acoustic and electric guitars and sweeping orchestral cues, the music channels the film’s raw, hyper-violent energy while grounding it in a striking emotional undercurrent.

They Will Kill You unleashes a blood-soaked, high-octane horror-action-comedy in which a young woman must survive the night at the Virgil Hotel, a Satanic cult’s mysterious and twisted death-trap of a lair, before becoming their next offering in a brazen, big screen battle of epic kills and wickedly dark humor. 

The film stars Zazie Beetz, Myha’La, Paterson Joseph, Tom Felton, Heather Graham, and Patricia Arquette.

Carlos Rafael Rivera shares:

"Working with director Kirill Sokolov on They Will Kill You pushed me completely out of my comfort zone, and I couldn't be more grateful. Early on, Kirill told me that for this movie to work, we always had to 'keep the middle finger in our pocket.’ That meant taking my initial, delicate 'ghost story' piano opening and evolving it into 'The Sisters' and 'The Immortal' themes by leaning heavily into aggressive synths. But the score became much more than a synth gig. Treating the 'Maria Reeves' theme with a mix of classical guitar and synths brought out an eclectic color I had not reached before, blending acoustic and electric guitars with orchestral elements. The challenge was on to write massive, adrenaline-fueled sequences like 'The Fight,' that could propel the hyper-violent tone of the film while protecting its genuine emotional core. It was a deeply collaborative, iterative process that made the music bolder and more badass than I could have imagined. Can't wait for you all to hear this one."

Waxwork Records is thrilled to release THEY WILL KILL YOU (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) on vinyl release featuring "Satanic Splatter" colored vinyl, heavyweight gatefold jackets with matte-satin coating, a 12"x12" insert, and custom artwork by Dave Merrell.

Waxwork Records is thrilled to present FORBIDDEN FRUITS (Original Motion Picture Score) by Anna Drubich. Directed by Meredith Alloway and starring Lili Reinhart, Lola Tung, Alexandra Shipp, and Victoria Pedretti, Forbidden Fruits follows Free Eden employee “Apple,” who secretly leads a witchy femme cult in the basement of the mall store after hours alongside fellow “fruits,” Cherry and Fig. When a new hire, “Pumpkin,” begins to challenge their performative sisterhood, the group is forced to confront their own poisons or succumb to a bloody fate.

The film features a standout score by award-winning composer Anna Drubich. Born in Moscow, Drubich discovered her passion for music at an early age, beginning piano studies at eight. She went on to study at the Moscow Chopin Music College and later earned her degrees from the Munich University of Performing Arts. Her diverse body of work spans over 35 major film and television projects, including Barbarian, Fear Street: 1994, and a co-score with Oscar-nominated composer Marco Beltrami (Scream) for Guillermo del Toro’s adaptation of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.

Waxwork Records proudly presents Forbidden Fruits (Original Motion Picture Score) as a deluxe vinyl release, featuring four collectible variants representing the cult’s “fruits”: Apple, Fig, Cherry, and Pumpkin.
