The album features the film’s original music composed by Bright Eyes member Nathaniel Walcott (The Fault in Our Stars, The Stand), Henrik Åström (Child of Grace, The American Runestone), Galen Huckins of Blue Dot Sessions, as well as director Randall Nickerson. The soundtrack will be released digitally this Friday, September 15.
