After scoring David Gordon Green’s film Prince Avalanche in 2013, Explosions in the Sky and composer David Wingo teamed up again to score Green’s new movie, Manglehorn, starring Al Pacino.
With very minimal guitar work included in the score, it sees Explosions In The Sky go back to their primary instrument, as the press release describes, “opting to harness that same emotional resonance from an array of percussive instruments”.

The good news is that Temporary Residence is putting out this magical soundtrack as a special limited edition. It drops on December 18th on CD and vinyl and it will be mail order exclusive. Pre-orders are now available so be quick to get yours.

Here’s a couple of wonderful tracks from Manglehorn‘s soundtrack, ‘Manglehorn Lock And Key’ and ‘Kylie And The Lion’.

Explosions In The Sky teamed up with film composer David Wingo to score filmmaker David Gordon Green’s upcoming dramatic comedy, Prince Avalanche. Starring Paul Rudd and Emile Hirsch, Prince Avalanche is an adaptation of Either Way, an indie comedy by Icelandic filmmaker Hafsteinn Gunnar Sigurðsson.
“Much like the film, the soundtrack stitches dozens of tiny moments of heartfelt brilliance into an emotionally resonant whole far more expansive than its intimate roots might imply”, says the press release.
We’ll have to wait for the film to be out next month, but we can already be sure the soundtrack will be tremendously beautiful. ‘Join Me On My Avalanche’, one of the songs off it, is now available to stream.
Prince Avalanche: An Original Motion Picture Soundtrack will be released via Temporary Residence. Pre-order it here and listen to Explosions In The Sky & David Wingo’s ‘Join Me On My Avalanche’ below.
