MANGLEHORN: AN ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK

Written by longtime friend, Paul Logan - and starring Al
Pacino and Holly Hunter - Manglehorn is beautifully
crafted and steeped in symbolism. The performances are
subtle and charming, the scenery is eclectic, and the
cinematography is strikingly beautiful. The soundtrack
reflects that same spirit, shaping abstract sounds into
playful and poignant score. With barely a hint of guitar on
the entire soundtrack, Explosions In The Sky forego the
primary instrument in which their stirring scores for Friday
Night Lights and Lone Survivor were built upon, opting to
harness that same emotional resonance from an array of
percussive instruments. David Wingo brings the same
mercurial magic to Manglehorn that made his scores to Mud
and Take Shelter so profoundly affecting. EITS and Wingo
are inspired collaborators, composers whose music is so
perfectly suited to the soundtrack format that listening to
them makes your own life feel like a film unfolding in front of
your eyes
