Exclusive Track Debut: Listen to “Tefillin” by Michael Yezerski from THE VIGIL Soundtrack
Tomorrow, Lakeshore Records will digitally release The Vigil Original Motion Picture Soundtrack by Michael Yezerski (The Tax Collector, Blindspotting). The soundtrack releases alongside the U.S. theatrical debut of the horror film, also in theaters and On Demand tomorrow from IFC Midnight.
Synopsis:
Steeped in ancient Jewish lore and demonology, The Vigil is a supernatural horror film set over the course of a single evening in Brooklyn’s Hasidic Borough Park neighborhood. Low on funds and having recently left his insular religious community, Yakov (Dave Davis) reluctantly accepts an offer from his former rabbi and confidante (Menashe Lustig) to take on the responsibility of an overnight “shomer,” fulfilling the Jewish practice of watching over the body of a deceased community member. Shortly after arriving at the recently departed’s dilapidated house to sit the vigil, Yakov begins to realize that something is very, very wrong.
The Vigil is written and directed by Keith Thomas; the film stars Dave Davis, Menashe Lustig, and Lynn Cohen.
Today, Dread Central is thrilled to exclusively debut the track “Tefillin” from The Vigil Original Motion Picture Soundtrack by Michael Yezerski. Listen to it are read more about the soundtrack’s release below.
Speaking about the philosophy behind the score, Yezerski said, “As [director] Keith Thomas and I discussed, music is memory. We associate music with the best and the worst times in our lives. For The Vigilwe needed to create a score that explored the malevolence of memory (both personal and cultural).” Yezerski went on further to note, “We needed massive textures that could read as both beautiful and brutal. The music attacks but also meditates on long and difficult lives. After all, what is the greater horror at play here – the supernatural or our lived reality?”
