TRZTN has written the score for the new movie “The Seeding” which was directed by Barnaby Clay, Karen O’s husband. And now they’ve shared a song off the score, “Alina’s Lullaby”.

Karen O shared this about the song: “I was happy to add my touch; a tender lullaby, with a subliminal “off” quality. The first rendition of “Mother’s Song” was in gibberish; Barny liked the idea of the words being in an old dialect from Eastern Europe. Through a friend of a friend, Tristan tracked down an English priest who was a missionary in Romania who knew Romani Chib. Tristan recorded the priest, who had the loveliest countenance, translating a poem that Barney had written for the film, and from the lot I formulated the lyrics. The “cuckoo” part of the song was an idea I had from a Brazilian song about a bird that Barney’s mother used to sing to him when he was little. I loved the idea of this lullaby feeling authentically passed down from generations and in its own way was deeply personal to Barney’s own origin story. I’m also pleased to be following a lineage of horror film lullabies, deliciously skewed by their context. Rosemary’s Baby lullaby being the holy grail of course.”

TRZTN’s score for The Seeding also features Einstürzende Neubauten’s F.M. Einheit and cellist Okkyung Lee.

The movie synopsis reads: A man finds himself trapped in a desert canyon with a woman living off-grid who is captive to a pack of sadistic boys.
