Sinoia Caves

'Beyond the Black Rainbow' (album stream)

BY Gregory AdamsPublished Aug 29, 2014

Four years after first hearing it on the big screen, Vancouver soundscaper Sinoia Caves (a.k.a. Black Mountain synth wizard Jeremy Schmidt) is about to have his score to whacked-out sci-fi flick Beyond the Black Rainbow issued on vinyl. But before it lands September 2 via Jagjaguwar/Death Waltz, you can stream the synth-strewn soundtrack on Exclaim.ca

As previously reported, the seven-song effort is described as "haunting, uncompromising [and] intense," as evidenced by the spine-chilling sine waves of the John Carpenter-inspired "Forever Dilating Eye." Other moments to look out for include the retro-futurist, faux-pipe organ pump of "1983 - Main Titles," and the epic discordant cloud of siren sounds and Transformer voices that fuse together on the airy and uncomfortable "1966 – Let the New Age of Enlightenment Begin."

You'll find those creeped-out flashes and more via the stream down below.

UPDATE: This stream was available for one week only and is no longer available.
