Suspiria
Thom Yorke
By Maeve C.
Written for Luca Guadagnino’s 2018 film, Suspiria was arranged and produced by Thom Yorke with Sam Petts-Davies over about a year and a half. The London Contemporary Orchestra and Choir perform on it, with sessions at AIR Lyndhurst in Hampstead.
“Suspirium” was released first, in September 2018, and Consequence described it as the melodic theme that recurs through the film and score. “Has Ended”, “Open Again” and “Unmade” followed as singles, and Yorke’s son Noah plays drums on “Has Ended” and “Volk”.
