WaterTower Music is excited to announce 
the release of True Detective: Night Country (Soundtrack from the HBO® Original Series) with music by Vince Pope. The soundtrack is available now, on digital platforms, coinciding with the series finale on HBO.
Vincent says, “It’s not that often I get to work on a project with a director (and show-runner) whose creativity and aesthetic I just love – and that I am so in tune with. In True Detective – Night Country I had that chance once again working with Issa Lopez and the amazing team at HBO. My vision is to present a musical journey that takes us through the dark endless night to that first day of new Alaskan light. The score is at times dark and forbidding yet at other times spiritual and angelic. I worked with the phenomenal Tanya Tadaq bringing her unique throat singing and vocals to work with the soundtrack and compliment the musical themes. Also featuring in the score is the Fujara, which at over 2 meters long produces a deep, meditative sound.
The album comes together as a work of foreboding and of portent and yet hopefully in the end also a work of tranquility and calm.”
When the long winter night falls in Ennis, Alaska, the eight men who operate the Tsalal Arctic Research Station vanish without a trace. To solve the case, Detectives Liz Danvers (Jodie Foster) and Evangeline Navarro (Kali Reis) will have to confront the darkness they carry in themselves and dig into the haunted truths that lie buried under the eternal ice.
