Yōkai (妖怪, ghost, phantom, strange apparition) are a class of supernatural monsters, spirits, and demons in Japanese folklore.

The new album from the trailer music composers of Hereditary, Midsummer, Parasite, IT, Pet Sematary.

Inspired by the cutting edge scores of some of the most recent elevated horror films. Compositions such as Mark Korven’s The Witch, Cristobal Tapia De Veers mesmerising The Girl With All The Gifts and the detailed electronics of Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. Deadly Avenger and SI Begg created ‘YOKAI’ with their extensive combined library of sounds, textures and bespoke organic, electro-acoustic instruments.

Yokai is Dripping with supernatural demonic horror at every pore. All 14 tracks of the new album are named after a unique Yokai. Pushing the horror tropes aside the duo have elevated the somewhat derivative world of trailer music into a haunting folk insisted soundscape, that will upend how elevated horror music should be heard.
