Waxwork Records is a New Orleans based record label founded in January 2013 by Kevin Bergeron and Sue Ellen Soto. Specializing in classic cinema, horror, cult, and sci-fi film scores, Waxwork releases these iconic soundtracks in the highest quality LP packages available. The label goes above and beyond to locate the original source master tapes for each release, often thought to be lost or destroyed for decades. These tapes are then re-mixed and re-mastered by former guitarist of a well-known band. All Waxwork titles are pressed on 180 gram audiophile grade vinyl and housed in heavy old style casebound tip-on jackets.

What sets Waxwork apart is their commitment to providing a complete package for each release. Every album features newly commissioned full package artwork and design along with liner notes from the film directors and composers themselves. This attention to detail ensures that fans not only get an exceptional listening experience but also a visually stunning collector's item.

In June 2023, Waxwork Records began pressing their own releases, further solidifying their dedication to delivering top-notch quality products directly to music enthusiasts worldwide. With distribution handled by Light in the Attic Records, this label continues to specialize in film soundtracks and scores that captivate audiences with their unique blend of nostalgia and artistic excellence.

Nope marks Abels’ third feature film score with director Jordan Peele, having previously scored Peele’s Get Out and US. The album also features songs from the film, including a new version of Corey Hart’s classic “Sunglasses at Night (Jean Jacket Mix)”, Dionne Warwick’s “Walk on By”, The Lost Generation’s “This is the Lost Generation”, Exuma’s “Exuma, the Obeah Man”, and a never-before-released gem by a young Jodie Foster, “La Vie C’est Chouette” from the 1977 film Moi, Fleur Bleue. “Nope is my most ambitious score to date,” says Abels. “There are elements from the genres of sci-fi, action, horror, and westerns, but always through the tonal palette of Jordan Peele’s unique vision. The lines between source music and score are blurred, as a good part of the score seems to be playing at the theme park, which is a key location in the story. The score is at times terrifying, yet also invokes the sense of awe and wonder that the characters feel as they realize what they are seeing. The film eventually becomes a grand adventure, and so the music expands into the larger-than-life scale we expect of a summer blockbuster.” He goes on to say, “it was a joy to compose a score that encompassed such a broad range of genres and emotions, and I’m thrilled to have audiences experience all of them through this album.”
