Soundtrack – Her Exclusive LP

A Newbury Comics exclusive color vinyl pressing.

Milan Records is issuing the first-ever release of the ORIGINAL SCORE to director Spike Jonzes 2013 hit film HER. The album features music composed by the GRAMMY Award-winning band ARCADE FIRE and their longtime collaborator OWEN PALLETT for the Academy Award- and Golden Globe Award-winning film starring Joaquin Phoenix and Scarlett Johansson. The scores release arrives nearly eight years since the films debut in 2013, upon which the lush, piano-driven music incited widespread critical acclaim and a nomination for Best Original Score at the 2014 Academy Awards.

Of the soundtracks release, ARCADE FIREs WIN BUTLER says, It 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.

The 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, adds OWEN PALLETT. It 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.”
