Shipping now (limited 200)

"Violent Hand of the Sleeping City," the latest library album from composer, producer, and engineer Sean Wolcott, delivers an intensely captivating and fresh take on the iconic 1970s crime film score.

With mutated jazz, hard-driving beats, frenetic funk, and unhinged, atmospheric undertones, occultic sinisterness lurks at the edges of its sixteen diverse compositions. With unyielding force, its sonic journey ventures Wolcott into exciting uncharted territories, delivering a raw and unapologetic experience that pushes the musical boundaries of the crime film forward, climaxing with one of the most epic ballads to hit the imaginary screen in some time.
