As wild as A24’s forthcoming Everything Everywhere All At Once appears to be, the Daniels-directed sci-fi/action-adventure film’s soundtrack is right there with it. Just take the companion album’s first single, “This Is A Life,” out now on A24 Music, in which the ultra-dynamic duo of David Byrne and Mitski duet over backing by Son Lux.
This collaboration, however eye-popping, is the tip of quite an iceberg: The 49-track (!) Everything Everywhere All At Once album, out April 8 and scored by Son Lux, also features contributions from Randy Newman, Outkast’s André Benjamin, Moses Sumney and more.
“Even though we knew from the moment Daniels asked us to score this film that it would push us in new and unexpected directions, we couldn’t have predicted how much we’d learn from the project,” Son Lux said in a statement upon the soundtrack’s announcement. “What emerged was our most ambitious undertaking to date, over two years in the making, resulting in two hours of new music. It was an opportunity for us to play, to infuse humor into our work, and to experiment from and beyond our various musical backgrounds.”
