Silva Screen Records release composer Adrian Corker's rich, adventurous and unpredictable soundtrack to Sky Atlantic's contemporary western series set in the Canadian Rockies. Tin Star skips from light to dark, from intimate to epic, from emotional to comic and the music provides the counterpoint to the capricious moods and performances. The revenge storyline inspired an atmospheric and twangy, at times uneasy and anxious soundtrack. With glimmers of twisted folk tunes submerging in contorted, string laden, columns of slowly moving harmonies, the soundtrack unfolds as distinctive, original and surprising throughout the two seasons of the show...

Adrian Corker's music for Tin Star represents an interesting blend of music styles and genres. Fans of the series will feel right at home as the score plods on, and there are enough interesting themes to ensure that, even if you've never seen the show, you'll get sucked into Corker's world.

The album contains 33 tracks (1 hr, 05 min) of music from the show's first two seasons and is well worth seeking out if you've been following the series. Corker's ability to flit from theme to theme is quite mesmerising.
