SHINING VALE Original Series Soundtrack by Tim Phillips Now Available From WaterTower Music

WaterTower Music is excited to announce today’s release of the soundtrack to SHINING VALE, the Starz Original horror comedy about a dysfunctional family that moves from the city to a small town after Patricia “Pat” Phelps, a former “wild child” who became famous through writing a raunchy female empowerment novel, is caught cheating on her husband. They move into a house in which terrible atrocities have taken place. But no one seems to notice except for Pat, who’s convinced she’s either depressed or possessed – turns out, the symptoms are exactly the same.

The SHINING VALE Soundtrack from the Original Series showcases the music of composer Tim Miller, who, since his breakout job scoring the massive hit show SHAMELESS in 2007, has seen his distinctive music accompanying many screen productions including the BBC film adaptation of Roald Dahl’s ESIO TROT, the epic period drama JERICHO for ITV, HBO’s ENTOURAGE, and the hit Channel 4 series SHAMELESS and ACKLEY BRIDGE. Theatrical productions he has scored have toured all over the world to great acclaim.

In addition to Miller’s compelling musical offerings, the album offers 4 four songs that showcase vocals from the SHINING VALE cast with vocals from stars Mira Sorvino and Gus Birney. Sorvino’s vocals are featured on “One for My Baby (And One More for the Road)” and “Strange Affair”, while Birney is showcased on “Whispering Hope “and “Ave Maria”

The album is now available from these links.
