Bobby Krlic’s soundtrack to Midsommar begins with beauty before quickly descending into chaos. The LA-based British producer, who records as The Haxan Cloak, is known for his bold and unsettling sound drawn out through electronic arrangements and deteriorating strings, which is probably the reason Hereditary director Ari Aster chose him to score the soundtrack to his new pagan horror film about a once-in-a-lifetime midsummer festival in a remote Swedish village, out tomorrow.
“My agent went to me back in January 2017 and said, ‘oh you know there’s this guy I asked for and he really loves the music and he’s written this film and he really wants you to score it and we think you should meet him. She gave a link to his films and I just thought he was a genius,” says Krlic, whose 2013 breakthrough album Excavation formed the backdrop to Aster’s scriptwriting process. “It means that we had a shared vision from the get go,” he explains. “He made it very clear how intrinsic he wanted the music to be in this film and how intertwined and really moulded into the fabric of the story and the world that we were cracking.”
When developing the ambitious soundtrack for Midsommar, Krlic and Aster would spend lunch breaks talking about film scores and playing records. “He came over to my house and we immediately hit it off and spent three or four hours together in my studio, listening to music and talking about films. Ari’s such a graceful person in that sense. I felt like I was really deeply entrenched in the film from the start of the movie, I got to be a part of how everything grew and progressed,” explains Krlic.
The soundtrack itself sounds like a panic attack, but I guess that’s the point. It draws on familiar horror movie tropes (after all, this is an Ari Aster film we’re talking about) such as the sudden escalation of (queasy) strings in ‘Harga Collapsing’ that fall into deadly into silence. There’s a strong sense of deterioration to the score, like sanity slowly unravelling, expressed through ominous, drawn-out synths that progress into guttural, primal screams (“A Language Of Sex” and “Gassed”). But Krlic is anything but predictable, instead juxtaposing sudden bouts of bottomless bass and cultish chanting and stomping noises with brief moments of relief through with ethereal intervals that feel like the sun peeking through a wall of thick cloud, leaving the listener perpetually on the edge.
It’s a technique that Krlic attributes to his childhood watching films like Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining and Martin Scorsese’s Taxi Driver, which he’d record on an old VCR player in his bedroom and play over and over again to truly feel the “music between (the) image”. Below, we asked the cult electronic musician to pick his five favourite film soundtracks.
