The Watchers

The Watchers
Folklore Tapes
UK, 2026
LP

A bewitching re-imagined soundtrack for the cult film The Watchers from 1969. “Described by Kelly Loughlin as a ‘semi-rural folk horror,’ The Watchers may feature the earliest depiction of an alien abduction in British cinema. Shot on 16mm black-and-white film by students of the Royal College of Art and running just 26 minutes, the film weaves together themes and stylistic elements that would later become hallmarks of British folk horror.” 

The music fits the bill perfectly, moving from organic folk timbres to the uncanny and the otherworldly with grace and wondrous dread.
