John Carpenter - Lost Themes - Neon Yellow Color Vinyl
Lost Themes is the first stand-alone album from John Carpenter, the director and composer behind the scores for Halloween, The Fog and Escape from New York. Released by Sacred Bones in 2015, it was made at his home with his son Cody Carpenter and his godson Daniel Davies, the same trio that went on to score the Halloween films that began in 2018.
Free of any film, the music invites listeners to picture their own nightmares. Carpenter's signature pulsing synth arpeggios arrive within the first minute of "Vortex," while the eight-minute "Obsidian" moves through dread, action and triumph like a full suite. "Domain" pits brassy synths against creeping menace, and power chords slash through the record in a nod to his later, guitar-heavy scores. As Carpenter put it, "Lost Themes was all about having fun."
This neon yellow pressing is a 2021 indie-exclusive reissue, a striking color for a record steeped in shadow.
Essential listening for synthwave fans and horror score collectors alike.

Shipping
Orders typically ship within two business days. Media Mail might be budget-friendly, but it travels at a glacial pace and gets little love from the postal service. For faster, smoother delivery, choose USPS Priority or UPS/USPS Ground.
Returns
Unopened returns accepted within 30 days — you cover shipping.
If your record arrives damaged or folded (thanks, postal service), reach out ASAP so we can fix it.
After 30 days, it’s yours to keep forever.
Avoid extreme heat or sunlight. Definitely don’t let it mingle with any Justin Bieber records. Treat it like your grandma — gentle, respectful, and quiet during Murder, She Wrote.
