SOUNDTRACK - Plague, The (Pool Water Blue Vinyl)

In partnership with Independent Film Company, Waxwork Records is proud to announce the release of THE PLAGUE Original Motion Picture Score composed and performed by Johan Lenox.

Premiering at the Cannes Film Festival to an 11-minute standing ovation, The Plague has garnered significant critical attention. Set at an all-boys water polo camp, the film follows a socially anxious twelve-year-old who becomes entangled in a cruel tradition targeting an outcast, as the boundary between ritual and reality begins to erode.

Composer Johan Lenox's original score underscores the film's tense, feral atmosphere through an organic palette of percussion, solo strings, and densely layered vocals. The music mirrors the story's escalating unease, balancing vulnerability with an ever-present sense of menace.

In exclusive liner notes included with the soundtrack, Lenox reflects on his immediate connection to the project:

"After years of dodging questions about when I would compose my first film score, I finally found the perfect project in Charlie Polinger's The Plague. I was immediately struck by the story's primal, Lord of the Flies-like quality."

Johan Lenox is a singer, composer, and music producer whose work spans the classical, film, and musical theater worlds, as well as a career as a solo artist and collaborator of rappers and pop stars. Many of his projects are driven by a passion for turning mainstream audiences into lovers of classical music.

Continuing Waxwork Records' commitment to elevated physical releases, The Plague soundtrack is pressed on "Pool Water Blue" colored vinyl and housed in heavyweight jackets featuring a matte satin finish. The release also includes printed inner sleeves and exclusive composer liner notes written specifically for this edition.
