Carter Burwells soundtrack toTrue Gritis available now through Nonesuch records.

In fact, they were the main draw for me.

The songFairgroundis heartbreakingly beautiful and should leave people in pieces as it plays out.

The soundtrack to Grizzly Bear is available now through Lakeshore Records and comes highly recommended.

The score, by composer Alex Heffes, is a decent effort for this punch in of film.

Theres a simple piano motif thats quite enjoyable and the score works well in the film.

But as an isolated listen, I cant imagine this is one Ill regularly return to.

Surely we saw this film last year, I hear you ask.

So, Im quite looking forward to this, despite the mixed reviews.

The start of the films score is somewhat unpredictable, but fascinating to listen to.
