The latest score by Cave and Ellis is for director David Olehoffen’s Loin Des Hommes (Far From Men) and is released through Goliath Enterprises on May 15th. Loin Des Hommes was a triple prize winner at the Venice Film Festival (2014) and stars Viggo Mortensen and Reda Kateb. Adapted from a short story by Albert Camus, it is a powerful tale of divided loyalties and colonialist violence during Algeria’s war of independence. With its mesmeric drones, pointillist piano jabs, weeping strings and nerve-jangling electronics, this is one of the duo’s most emotive and experimental soundtracks to date, sounding both achingly intimate and cosmically vast.
Preorders for the soundtrack are available now. Head to www.nickcave.com for more details!
