The album, from acclaimed musician and podcaster Hrishikesh Hirway, captures the beautiful isolation of sled-dog racing in the Alaska wilderness
iam8bit is thrilled to announce that it will be releasing The Red Lantern’s gorgeous soundtrack as an exclusive vinyl album. Composer Hrishikesh Hirway’s instrumental soundscape is a relaxing experience that may have listeners reaching for a blanket – even if they haven’t yet played Timberline Studios’ contemplative sled-dogging journey.
The Red Lantern shares the story of the Musher (Ashly Burch), who moves to Alaska looking for a fresh start in the unforgiving wilderness. Her journey of perseverance and self-discovery is enhanced through its soundtrack, which captures the shushing of the sled gliding through snow and the loneliness – and freedom – that comes with being the only person on the trail. Hrishikesh Hirway (Song Exploder, The One AM Radio) composed and recorded The Red Lantern’s soundtrack, providing a welcome bit of warmth amid Alaska’s unrelenting cold.
The Red Lantern soundtrack features 14 tracks, including the bonus track “Holiday Lights,” pressed on Aurora Purple vinyl. It’s tucked into a sleeve with dazzling art from Haley bbanditt Wakefield that perfectly captures snowy sunsets and the majestic Northern Lights in the night sky. The center labels add a touch of whimsy, with a sled-dog team that runs in circles as the record plays. The album is now available for pre-order at iam8bit.com for $31.99 and is expected to ship in Q2 2023.
