From Lakeshore Records comes Perfect Sisters
14-May-2014 -

 

With Original Music by Carmen Rizzo

Lakeshore Records has released Perfect Sisters digitally and through Amazon-On-Demand. The album features two exclusive songs, a cover of the Carl Perkins classic “Honey Don't” by Johnzo West, and “The Worst Part/Auld Lang Syne,” performed by the film’s Abigail Breslin and Cassidy Reiff, and original music by
Carmen Rizzo.

The 1956 rockabilly classic is featured in one of the more pivotal scenes in the film. "Once we had the song - which has a very subversive lyric when juxtaposed against the dark story unfolding on screen while it's playing - it was important to find an artist who could recreate it with a contemporary, but reverent, feel,” said director Stan Brooks, who also directed the music video. “Johnzo West, an LA rock scene heartthrob, was a perfect choice.”

The film features original music by Carmen Rizzo. Producer, artist, electronic musician, composer, DJ, remixer, and two-time Grammy nominee Carmen Rizzo has had a very eclectic career, from writing, engineering and programming on Seal’s classic album Seal 2 to producing and writing for Paul Oakenfold’s Bunka album, and from collaborating with Tuvan throat singers Huun Huur Tu to co-founding the groundbreaking world music/electronic act Niyaz (whose three albums all debuted at #1 on the iTunes world music chart).

A pair of abused and neglected teenage girls almost get away with murder in Perfect Sisters, a riveting true-crime thriller based on the notorious “Bathtub Girls” case. Sisters Sandra (Abigail Breslin) and Beth (Georgie Henley) learned early in life that they had no one to depend on but each other. But when their addict mother Linda (Mira Sorvino) makes plans to move the girls in with her lecherous and abusive lover, the girls’ situation becomes unbearable. Seeing no other way out, Sandra and Beth recruit their classmates to help them plan their mother’s murder. When the girls’ guilt spins out of control and they compulsively confess their involvement to friends, rumors that they are cold-blooded killers reach the ears of the authorities. PERFECT SISTERS is a harrowing and heartbreaking look at the teen subculture that nurtured the girls’ murderous fantasies and covered up for them after they committed an unthinkable crime in an effort to create a normal life for themselves.
