Blood Hive (Original Score From The Showtime Series Yellowjackets) Releases Digitally!

“The leaders of ’90s bands Shudder to Think and That Dog have gone spooky, to great end, with music that’s helped turn the Showtime series into a phenomenon.” – Variety⁠

“If Shrill was the duo’s pop album and TheRepublic of Sarah a Radiohead-style art-drama, then Yellowjackets is their angsty goth record, with a side of the supernatural.” – Pitchfork⁠

Lakeshore Records has released Blood Hive—Original Score from the Showtime Series, Yellowjackets featuring music by Craig Wedren, best known as the frontman for seminal post-hardcore band Shudder to Think, and Anna Waronker of indie pop darlings that dog., who scored most of the show’s episodes; and composer Theodore Shapiro who composed the music for the show’s pilot. The strikingly sinister score harkens back to the punk, grunge and garage scenes of the 90’s and provides a darkly ominous backdrop to the horror series. The album, which contains an extended version of the main title song “No Return,” is available now digitally on April 15 on all major digital music services.  View full album details below.

MADE OF GOLD

Made of Gold (feat. Jasmine Cephas Jones) – Craig Wedren & Pink Ape

meet me in awhile
come and take a walk with me
you could be my whiskey casualty
a ball I wanna roll

oh
you kiss me
and I’m pain free

put your best suit on
grab my hand
and go

‘cause baby there’s a lot to see
a lot I wanna show

please please please
have faith in me
you’re the place I wanna call home

you and me
are the reason why hearts are made of gold
better run for your love
you say 1-2-3
and I’ll be right by your side
through the seasons of hot and cold

come and take a ride with me
(come on take a ride with me)
kissing on your wrist so casually
(kissing on your wrist so casually)
living out a public fantasy
oh you’ll star in every roll

you kiss me
oh
plain to see
you’re the face I wanna crawl on
so what’s another minute baby

you and me
are the reason why hearts are made of gold
better run for your love
when you say 1-2-3
I’ll be right by your side
through the seasons of hot and cold
you’re the reason hearts are made of gold

I don’t wanna drag you down
with so much flying ‘round
but I could sure use a friend right now
and you’re the best thing I have found

baby take a walk with me
(baby take a walk with me)
you could be my risk-of-casualty
(you could be my risk-of-casualty)
oh you semi-oughta-know
please say please
and we’ll roll with the breeze
put your best foot forward
and fall

you’re the reason hearts are made of gold
