This month we’re super excited to work with Philly friends MovieJawn, a gorgeous quarterly movie magazine in print and online. Joe has been reviewing films for the magazine for a few years now, and before we knew it a collaboration of another kind was in the works.
This year, we’ll partner with MovieJawn by producing a record to accompany each of its four issues. The first issue of 2025 is called Silence Please! and is dedicated to silent films, so we solicited music that plays with that theme.
On one side of the 6-inch record is a song by Corey J. Bewer, a Seattle-based musician who makes these amazing original scores for silent films. (We know Corey through Spencer Moody; he contributed one of his scores to Midnight Service, the fundraiser compilation Joe organized for the Mütter Museum back in 2020.) For Silence Please!, Corey contributed the song “The Cat and the Canary,” which was inspired by the 1939 film of the same name. On the flip side is “nosferatuUuUu,” a super fun, spooky dark synth track by iggy and izzy of starmouth. After having seen and loved Robert Eggers’ lush new Nosferatu, we couldn’t resist.
You can pre-order the issue and the record on MovieJawn’s website now. Orders ship in mid-March.
