Finn Wolfhard<\/a> heads back to the Nineties (again) for his new song, \u201cGetting Better (Otherwise),\u201d from The Turning<\/a><\/em> soundtrack.<\/p>\n

Wolfhard stars in the upcoming adaptation of Henry James\u2019 The Turn of the Screw<\/em> as Miles, a wealthy orphan who lives alone in a massive manor with his sister, Flora, and their housekeeper Mrs. Grose. Things start to unravel when a new governess, Kate, moves in to tend to Flora. It\u2019s a tale as old as time (or the 1800s): Is the house haunted or is Kate just insane?<\/p>\n

The original book takes place in the 1800s, but for the 2020 adaptation, director Floria Sigismondi decided to bring the story into the Nineties \u2014 complete with a era-matching soundtrack. For that, she enlisted Lawrence and Yves Rothman to produce an album featuring artists like Mitski, Courtney Love<\/a>, Empress Of, The Aubreys featuring Wolfhard, Vagabon, Cherry Glazerr, Lawrence Rothman, Kim Gordon and Warpaint.<\/p>\n

Wolfhard\u2019s song premieres Wednesday with a video featuring scenes from the film. \u201cIt\u2019s about someone who has a completely negative outlook on life but somehow \u2014 through weird and dark things that they like \u2014 they\u2019re always getting better,\u201d he tells Rolling Stone<\/em>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

His character, Miles, turns to music for comfort throughout the movie \u2014 while simultaneously freaking viewers out as he grows more and more hostile toward Kate. Miles is a fan of both Nirvana and Daniel Johnston (both make cameos in his bedroom d\u00e9cor), so it\u2019s safe to say he fancies himself a misunderstood outsider. \u201cMusic is Miles\u2019 escape,\u201d Wolfhard says.<\/p>\n

Producer Lawrence Rothman says of the song: \u201cFinn and his bandmate Malcom came to my studio and we had a chaotic eight-hour session where it all came together fast. Jay Reatard\u2019s Nineties band The Reatards, we blasted [them] in the studio during our session breaks, and a bit of that influence came into the recording of the song.\u201d<\/p>\n

Both the soundtrack and the movie will drop January 24th.<\/p>\n

As for Wolfhard, despite the fact his band Calpurnia split in November 2019, he\u2019s still making music \u2014 this time with a new band called the Aubreys. \u201cI started a new thing that\u2019s more independent, that\u2019s less pressure and a little more music,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

The reigning prince of nostalgia is also set to appear in the gritty Ghostbusters: Afterlife<\/em><\/a>, out in July, and the fourth season of Netflix\u2019s Stranger Things<\/em>, which doesn\u2019t have a release date yet.<\/p>\n
