The Last Sunset of the Year
Marcus Fjellström
The Last Sunset of the Year
Boomkat Product Review:
Miasmah collects experimental composer Marcus Fjellström's final recordings - penned while he was writing the score to cult AMC horror series 'The Terror' - on this exhaustive posthumous collection.
While some of the pieces on 'The Last Sunset of the Year' will be familiar to anyone who's heard Fjellström's 'The Terror' soundtrack, it's not strictly "a companion to the show", as the liner notes state. Miasmah's Erik K Skodvin and Fjellström's colleague Dave Kajanich assembled the set by surveying the entirety of the cues the composer had written - 75 in total - and then figuring out a way to sequence everything harmoniously. Whittling them down to a tidy, but still lengthy, set of 26 tracks, Skodvin and Kajanich put together a fitting tribute to Fjellström's work. Not only does he capture the unique mood of the show itself - which incidentally is one of the best period horrors we've seen - but he plays with its tension, something we can hear more clearly here when the suites are presented so vividly.
'Last Morning Watch' is split into seven movements that immediately cast us back to the icy, Arctic doom with chilly, industrial-tinge orchestral passages that merge with Fjellström's lighter period-specific themes. Watery crashes and iron-clad smacks interrupt the terse themes, and subtle electronic elements weave themselves in-and-out of the score without sounding anachronistic. And as the album develops, it only gets more painful: 'Last Draughts, Best Efforts' is seven slices of claustrophobic, nailbiting doom, and 'Last Fixed Position' sounds adrift and frozen, its Herrmann-esque strings trapped in the permafrost. And the best is saved for last; on 'Last Heat, Last Exertions', Fjellström lets his imagination run wild, tape warping his ensemble and coating it in crackling noise.
