塑料盒 CD。冰岛三女子暗潮/后朋，为幽灵马车电影所作的配乐专辑。

1921 年，电影先驱维克多·舍斯特罗姆 (Victor Sjöström) 执导的传奇瑞典无声电影《幽灵马车》 (The Phantom Carriage) 多年来影响了数百位艺术家。如今，距离电影首次上映已有一个多世纪，独特迷人的冰岛合成朋克三人组 Kælan Mikla 与同胞 Bardi Johannsson 联手为这部电影创作了令人难忘的原创配乐。

这部电影在 2023 年特兰西瓦尼亚国际电影节上放映，现场表演了专门为该地点创作的配乐，教堂座无虚席。鉴于首演的成功，Kælan Mikla 和 Bardi Johannsson 现已共同发行了《幽灵马车》的原创配乐黑胶唱片，并将在未来的场合现场表演。

Bardi Johannsson 和 Kælan Mikla 共同创造了一种独特的声音，生活在一个充满民间传说和童话、魔法和神秘主义的世界里。电影般的合成器层次、空灵的歌声和程序化的鼓声——这些是合作声音的核心元素，将听众拉入他们的音乐空间。这是一部令人着迷的新作品，融合了古典惊悚配乐和暗潮阴郁的合成器。

CD Edition of the Phantom Carriage.

A legendary 1921 Swedish silent movie by film pioneer Victor Sjöström,”The Phantom Carriage” has influenced hundreds of artists over the years. Now, over a century since the film’s initial release, the uniquely mesmeric Icelandic synth-punk trio Kælan Mikla have joined forces with compatriot Bardi Johannsson to create a haunting original score for the movie.

The film was screened at the Transylvania International Film Festival 2023, accompanied by a live performance of the score specially written for the location, to a sold-out church. In light of the success of this first performance, together Kælan Mikla and Bardi Johannsson have now released The Phantom Carriage original score on vinyl and will be performing it live on further occasions.

Together, Bardi Johannsson and Kælan Mikla have created a unique voice, inhabiting a world of folklore and fairytales, of magic and mysticism. Cinematic layers of synth, ethereal vocals and programmed drums – these are the elements at the heart of the collaboration’s sound, pulling the listener ever-deeper into their musical space. Crossing between classical thriller scoring and darkwave gloomy synths, this is a spellbinding new work.

Kælan Mikla were founded in 2013 as an entry in a poetry competition. After winning the event, the group were encouraged to continue making music, and soon established themselves as a solid part of the Reykjavik grassroots scene. In 2015, Kælan Mikla released their song ‘Kalt’, attracting a host of attention nationally and abroad and were finally signed by label FABRIKA.
