Product Details

Scott Walker spent the last decades of his life systematically dismantling what a pop record could be, and his orchestral work for Brady Corbet's debut film lands squarely in that lineage. Rooted in the same dissonant grandeur he brought to "Bish Bosch" and "The Drift," the score translates Walker's singular vision of dread and beauty into purely cinematic terms, with no vocal safety net to soften the impact.

4AD will release Scott Walker’s soundtrack to Brady Corbet’s dramatic film The Childhood Of A Leader on Friday 22 July, 2016. It is Walker’s first OST work since his remarkable score for Pola X in 1999. His dramatic contribution is at the heart of the film, a tense semi-fictional film, inspired by Jean-Paul Sartre’s short story of the same name, that follows the complicated formative years of young boy growing in France in 1918 who witnesses the signing of the Treatment of Versailles. Walker continues to work with long-term collaborators Pete Walsh (co-producer) and Mark Warman (orchestra, conductor), and were both involved in the live score performance by an orchestra of 80 that closed Rotterdam Film Festival last month.
