The "Backrooms (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)" is the official score for the A24 horror film directed by viral VFX creator Kane Parsons (famously known online as Kane Pixels). Co-composed by Parsons and Edo Van Breemen, the album is scheduled for physical distribution on October 23, 2026, via A24 Music.
Based on the viral 4chan creepypasta and Parsons' hit YouTube shorts, the score mirrors the film's slow-burn, atmospheric dread. Rather than relying on traditional horror jump-scare tropes, Parsons and Van Breemen craft a 92-minute liminal nightmare using deep synthesizer oscillations, mechanical pipe clangs, and buzzing ambient textures reminiscent of Hiroshi Yoshimura, Aphex Twin, and Boards of Canada.
The physical release is a premium 2xLP black vinyl set housed in a striking, complex tri-gatefold jacket with custom die-cuts. It captures a haunting variety of soundscapes—ranging from traditional horror reverb and growling sub-bass to bizarre, unsettling genre detours like "Pirate Shanty" and "Cafe Bossa v1".
