Blood Hive 3 Original Score from the TV 
series Yellowjackets is available digitally from Lakeshore Records. Craig Wedren, frontman for D.C.-based seminal post-hardcore band Shudder to Think, and Anna Waronker of indie pop icons that dog. build upon their strikingly dark backdrop to the first two seasons and take the score in ever more boundary expanding directions. Wedren’s and Waronker’s original song “Sleepwalking,” is also included on the soundtrack and the music video for the song, directed by Yellowjackets’ own Bart Nickerson, premiered today. The Showtime® original Emmy®-nominated series Yellowjackets season three is currently streaming on Paramount+ with Showtime plan.
Notes Wedren and Waronker: “Season three was a kaleidoscopic moving-puzzle of interweaving stories, relationships, and timelines that allowed -and pushed- us to explore and expand in awesome new musical directions, while continuing to build upon the sound of the first two seasons.
From the forest floor, to frog orgies, to cave hallucinations, and finally to scoring Lottie’s murder with our new original song “Sleepwalking”, we were encouraged by the story, the visuals, and our visionary producers, to explore and experiment sonically and harmonically, discovering whole new wings of the haunted, fractal funhouse that is Yellowjackets.”

In season three, as summer arrives, the Yellowjackets face a fragile victory—the brutal winter that nearly claimed them is finally behind them, but distrust in leadership and tension within the team jeopardize their chances of being rescued. In the present, long-buried secrets from their pasts begin to surface. As the women fight to keep their lives from unraveling, they must confront a chilling question: who are they really, and what dark truths are they hiding from each other and themselves?

ABOUT CRAIG WEDREN
Craig Wedren first gained notice as the dynamic, multi-octave-wielding frontman of Shudder to Think – one of the first Washington, D.C. bands to make the transition from the revered Dischord punk label to the majors during the grunge era. Indeed, Vanity Fair called Wedren “the Freddie Mercury of Dischord.”
With its eccentric song structures and complex time signatures, Shudder to Think would prove a significant influence on math rock, post-hardcore, and emo – at the same time making fans of diverse luminaries spanning Jeff Buckley to Deftones to Cursive. The likes of Incubus and Pearl Jam have also been known to cover Shudder to Think in their live shows. As Shudder to Think wound down in the late-’90s, Wedren began to pursue new, vital sonic avenues of his own.
From 2005’s Lapland (Team Love) to 2017’s Adult Desire (his own Pink Ape label), Wedren has released a series of solo albums and related collaborative projects. At the same time, Wedren’s music has become an essential part of some of film and television’s most popular and lauded shows. Beginning with the soundtracks for the late-’90s films High Art and First Love, Last Rites along with his Shudder to Think bandmates, Craig’s composing resume has gone on to include extensively working with director Lisa Cholodenko (The Kids Are All Right) and David Wain (Role Models, Wet Hot American Summer). Wedren would go on to create evocative, decidedly contemporary scores for cultural-touchstone films and television series including The School of Rock, Laurel Canyon, Reno 911!, GLOW (Netflix), Fresh Off the Boat (ABC), Shrill (Hulu), New Amsterdam (NBC) and, most recently, the wildly popular Showtime® series YELLOWJACKETS.
In recent years, Wedren’s endlessly creative spirit has also seen him release Adult Desire 360–a VR app comprised of 360° panoramic music videos featuring songs from his album Adult Desire; share the limited edition hard-bound book My ’90s, featuring photos he took on his Polaroid Spectra in the 1990s and early 2000’s that documented his late nights and early mornings on the road with Shudder to Think and time with friends including Fugazi, Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam, members of The State and more; and Sabbath Sessions, his multi-episode podcast featuring musical meditations that represent his first explorations of ambient choral music, where Wedren’s technique of sampling and looping his famously elastic voice results in a unique kind of sound bath.
