The Story
A Newbury Comics exclusive color vinyl pressing.
Milan Records is issuing the first-ever release of the ORIGINAL SCORE to director Spike Jonzeās 2013 hit film HER. The album features music composed by the GRAMMYĀ® Award-winning band ARCADE FIRE and their longtime collaborator OWEN PALLETT for the Academy AwardĀ®- and Golden GlobeĀ® Award-winning film starring Joaquin Phoenix and Scarlett Johansson. The scoreās release arrives nearly eight years since the filmās debut in 2013, upon which the lush, piano-driven music incited widespread critical acclaim and a nomination for āBest Original Scoreā at the 2014 Academy AwardsĀ®.
Of the soundtrackās release, ARCADE FIREās WIN BUTLER says, āIt was an honor to be asked by our friend Spike Jonze to work on the Her score. There is a mysterious alchemy in the way sound and picture work together, notes and moods shifting and reacting to one another like a kaleidoscope... And even in the absence of visuals, the emotional landscape still remains. We hope you have a moment of stillness to get lost in the music as we did writing and recording it.ā
āThe band had been talking about this ongoing soundtrack project with Spike for about a year before they asked me tocome in to help wrap things up,ā adds OWEN PALLETT. āIt seemed as if the soundtrack had originally planned to connect with the sci-fi aspects of the story, but Spike was urging a shift toward the score emphasizing the romantic element."
