About This Soundtrack
The 2026 psychological horror thriller Backrooms, directed by teenage internet sensation Kane Parsons in his feature-length debut, successfully adapts the vast analog horror phenomenon to the silver screen. Backed by indie powerhouse A24, the movie chronicles a furniture store owner named Clark (Chiwetel Ejiofor) who accidentally glides through a basement anomaly, trapping himself inside a massive, shifting labyrinth of rotting carpets and yellow office walls. His therapist Mary (Renate Reinsve) risks her own sanity to follow him into the liminal purgatory. The film uses an unsettling sonic framework to turn their psychological trauma into a terrifying acoustic reality.
The musical direction relies on a brilliant collaboration between director-composer Kane Parsons and veteran music producer Edo van Breemen. Rather than deploying generic jump scares, the composers crafted a haunting neo-classical and ambient score that captures the infinite emptiness of the labyrinth, utilizing raw string arrangements, analog synthesizers, and metallic soundscapes. To complement this isolation, experienced music supervisor Natasha Duprey licensed a fascinating selection of retro pop, jazz, and ambient tracks. The soundtrack features eerie, distorted background pieces by Who's Who?, The Payola$, and The Caretaker, building an atmosphere of decaying nostalgia that underscores the protagonist's fading memory.

About the Composer(s)
Kane Parsons (born 2005) is an American filmmaker, animator, and composer. He gained widespread recognition at age 16 for his viral YouTube horror short film 'The Backrooms (Found Footage)' in January 2022. Using Blender and Adobe After Effects, Parsons created an incredibly realistic analog horror masterpiece that launched a massive internet franchise. Recognizing his talent, A24, Atomic Monster, and Chernin Entertainment partnered with Parsons to direct a full-length feature film adaptation of the Backrooms mythos. In addition to directing, Parsons is also an accomplished composer, contributing heavily to the analog-synth soundscapes and eerie score alongside Edo van Breemen.
Edo van Breemen is a Canadian composer, multi-instrumentalist, and music producer. He is known for his atmospheric, experimental, and emotionally resonant compositions across independent films, documentaries, and television projects. Van Breemen's style frequently blends acoustic instruments, such as piano and classical strings, with vintage analog synthesizers and manipulated field recordings. For the 2026 movie adaptation of Backrooms, he collaborated closely with director Kane Parsons to construct an eerie, liminal, and deeply psychological score that captures the infinite isolation of the yellow-walled office spaces.

- Analog Textures: To capture the distinctive analog-horror aesthetic, composers Kane Parsons and Edo van Breemen utilized vintage 1980s synthesizers and deliberately degraded the audio tracks using cassette tape recorders.
- Lost Wave Classic: The soundtrack prominently features the legendary 'lost wave' synth-pop track 'Ulterior Motives' by Who's Who?, which spent years as an unsolved internet mystery before being rediscovered in 2024.
- Liminal Soundscapes: The music supervisor licensed tracks from ambient project The Caretaker, whose album 'Everywhere at the End of Time' is famously thematic of memory decay and matches the film's psychological themes.
Official Trailer
About the Movie
When a struggling furniture store owner (Chiwetel Ejiofor) accidentally "no-clips" through a basement anomaly and vanishes into The Backrooms—a vast, infinite labyrinth of yellow-walled office spaces and rotting carpets—his troubled therapist (Renate Reinsve) dives into the same supernatural void to find him. Trapped together in a shifting dimension that weaponizes their deepest personal traumas, they must navigate a dead-end purgatory where reality is broken, a mysterious organization is watching, and a terrifying entity hunts them from the shadows.
