FILM - TV - THEATER - GAMES: DROPSMilan Records released Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (Original Motion Picture Score), featuring music by Jeremiah Fraites of The Lumineers. For the biographical film about one of rock music’s most beloved icons, Bruce Springsteen, and the making of his acclaimed 1982 album Nebraska, Fraites composed an intimate and emotional score centered on a weathered upright piano, layered with warm synths and sweeping orchestral textures. His music evoked the raw vulnerability at the heart of Springsteen’s story, which complements the film directed, written and produced by Scott Cooper and starring Jeremy Allen White as the Boss.

The Twits (Soundtrack from the Netflix Original Film) has been released worldwide, which includes a score by composer Oli Julian that showcases his signature mix of wit, warmth, and orchestral creativity, as well songs by new wave/punk icon David Byrne of Talking Heads fame. The release accompanies the first-ever feature adaptation of beloved author Roald Dahl’s classic children’s tale, published in 1980. A lifelong admirer of Dahl, Julian captured the grotesque humor and heart of the animated comedy with a chaotic musical approach that combined banjos, jaw harps, Balkan brass, and musical saws with lush orchestral and choral textures.
