Ethel Cain and Robin Carolan preview Werwulf score with medieval song
Developing story first seen 2 hours ago
The new song “Wynter Waxeth” by Ethel Cain and composer Robin Carolan has been released as a preview of the music for Robert Eggers’ forthcoming film Werwulf. Co-written by Eggers, Cain and Carolan, it draws on the film’s medieval setting and gives an early sense of the score’s brooding style.
Cain sings in Middle English, and the track grows from a sparse opening into a more cacophonous warning. She began writing it on a psaltery after Carolan shared medieval music with her. Werwulf, starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Willem Dafoe and Lily-Rose Depp, is due on 25 December; a 7-inch single pairing the song with Carolan’s “Cold Moone” is scheduled for 29 January.
