Ain't Them Bodies Saints (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

 

Composer: Daniel Hart
Artists: various
Lakeshore Records
RRP: £13.99
Release Date: 13 August 2013


After his pregnant wife makes one false move during a bloody shootout, a bank robber faces a 25-year sentence that destroys his dreams of a family life. Shot through with the yearning and melancholy of a folk ballad, David Lowery’s directorial breakthrough extends the Bonnie and Clyde tradition with its breathtaking meditation on the fragility and transience of love. Daniel Hart's score is key in capturing the mood-drenched collision of love and crime...

Daniel Hart's score for Ain't Them Bodies Saints is interesting, but I'm not sure how wide an audience it will have outside of fans of the movie. It's quite a beautiful score, in places, but it's not your typical modern soundtrack.

Highlights include the beautiful 'Ruth and Sylvie'; 'Sweet Talk'; and 'Inside the Farmhouse'.

The album is split between Hart's score (11 tracks - 30 min, 35 sec) and other artists tracks (8 songs - 23 min, 14 sec). To be honest I could have done without the old sounding country songs, but Hart's score is interesting.
