Sacred Bones Records

<a href="https://roughtrade.com/us/label/sacred-bones-records">SACRED BONES RECORDS</a>

Sacred Bones Records was founded in a basement in Brooklyn in 2007. Like so many labels, it started out as a way for label owner Caleb Braaten to release his friends’ music. It quickly grew into a bigger operation, while retaining the DIY ethos that defined its early days. Sacred Bones has become synonymous with forward-thinking, dark-tinted music, releasing landmark albums by artists like Zola Jesus, Jenny Hval, and Pharmakon, as well as fostering the music careers of the great directors David Lynch, John Carpenter, and Jim Jarmusch.

Rough Trade NYC's Tommy sat down with Caleb to talk about the history of the label, working in record shops and his favourite projects so far.

To celebrate Sacred Bones being our Label Focus, we have the following special editions available now at Rough Trade:

Sacred Bones Label Focus

<a href="https://roughtrade.com/us/artist/john-carpenter">John Carpenter</a> has been responsible for much of the horror genre's most striking soundtrack work in the fifteen movies he's both directed and scored.

The themes can instantly flood his fans' musical memory with imagery of a menacing shape stalking a babysitter, a relentless wall of ghost-filled fog, lightning-fisted kung fu fighters, or a mirror holding the gateway to hell. The all-new music on Lost Themes asks Carpenter's acolytes to visualize their own nightmares. As is Carpenter's style, repetition is the key to the thundering power of these tracks, their energy swirling with shredding chords, soaring organs, unnerving pianos and captivating percussion. Horror fans will be reminded of <a href="https://roughtrade.com/us/artist/john-carpenter">Carpenter's</a> past works, as well as ancestors like Mike Oldfeld's Tubular Bells and Goblin's Suspiria.

"They're little moments of score from movies made in our imaginations. Now I hope it inspires people to create films that could be scored with this music."
