Today, A24 announces a whirlwind score by “west coast goth queen” (Rolling Stone) Chelsea Wolfe and the iconic horror composer Tyler Bates for Ti West’s (The House of the Devil) upcoming slasher film X, starring Kid Cudi, Mia Goth, Jenny Ortega, and Brittany Snow. The full score drops March 25. 

Chelsea Wolfe transforms Arthur Field’s 1918 “Oui Oui Marie” into a woozy, eerie ballad, with her vocals seething and simmering beneath folksy guitar strums. 

The wildly entertaining ride is set in 1979 about a group of entrepreneurial young filmmakers who retreat to a rural Texas farm to make a low-budget pornographic movie, only to find themselves thrust into unimaginable horrors when their mysterious hosts disrupt the shoot. An ode to film-making of all stripes, X is an ode to the currency of youth and arrives nationwide March 18.
