Longtime musical partners Nick Cave and Warren Ellis brought more of their music to the big screen this year when they delivered the score to Jeff Bridges-starring heist film, Hell or High Water. You'll be able to bring the latest movie music collaboration from the Bad Seeds buddies next month when it gets an official soundtrack release.
While the work had previously been premiered on the film festival circuit, Cave and Ellis's Hell or High Water score gets its commercial release August 12 via Milan. The David McKenzie-directed flick receives its wider North American release to theatres that same day.
The soundtrack packages together nine original pieces from the duo, but also adds old songs from the likes of Townes Van Zandt and Waylon Jennings. Below, you'll find a full breakdown of the soundtrack, as well as a pair of violin-and-piano-manned, mood-setting streams from Cave and Ellis.
"What I love about Nick and Warren's film music is that it's epic and expansive without being grandiose," McKenzie explained in a statement. "For me as a filmmaker this hits a sweet spot where the score is able to have scale and emotion but not feel manipulative or overwhelming."
Hell or High Water is one of many Cave and Ellis's soundtrack projects to appear over the years. Other films to be scored by the pair include Loins Des Hommes, West of Memphis, Lawless, The Road and The Proposition.
In related news, Cave's Bad Seeds will deliver their next album, Skeleton Tree, on September 9. The music will be premiered at a film screening the night before.
