Les Revenants
81/100
Fans of Mogwai, and their mandatory slow build to a massive crescendo, which leads to another slow build to another massive crescendo, would probably have expected more of the same style when they made this soundtrack to Les Revenants, a French TV zombie show that debuted in 2012. Nope. Instead, you get mellow music, with lots of piano and keyboard, that evokes growing dread and unease rather than horror. It's a really good, and completely unexpected, album showing a band working marvelously against their strengths. Check out "Hungry Face," one of the more forceful songs, that uses maximizes the creepiness of the xylophone.
