uglyboy It has the disjointed essence of a film score, a lot of good tracks but not really cohesive. I still love everything you do tho dont get it twisted!! Favorite track: Seasick.

Daniel Brown There is no artist that I can say that affects me more musically or emotionally than Tim Hecker. Having listened to his entire discography obsessively for years, there is almost always something new to pick up. The cascade of images and subtle elaborations he puts into the spaces is profound. I honestly do prefer The North Water over Konoyo and Anoyo. He is in my opinion the Dostoevsky of music, the seering hot scalpel dissecting the brain. There is no other parallel. There is only, Hecker. Favorite track: Twinkle In The Wasteland.

kosmcade Parts remind me of Vangelis' work, while others combine parts of Konoyo/Anoyo and Virgins. Great work! Favorite track: Winter's Coming.

    Tim Hecker's incredible score to "The North Water", starring Colin Farrell and Jack O'Connell is in stock and shipping now

    This CD is presented as a digipack.

    “The score for The North Water was written just before and during the pandemic in 2020, mostly over arguably one of the darkest winters of some memory in Montreal,” says Hecker.

    “The music was an attempt to add depth and texture to a five-hour doomed arctic journey that charts a trajectory from hardened optimism into abject futility. We worked with a primary palette of synthesizers, electronics, and treated cello, in rich live spaces as well as suffocating dead ones. This version of the score is an enhanced mix of some of the material that made its way into the project.”

    Adapted from a novel of the same name – The North Water by Ian McGuire – it tells the story of a disgraced doctor who becomes a medic onboard an Arctic whaling ship.
