Nick Cave & Warren Ellis' score to "Blonde", by Andrew Dominik and starring Ana De Armas, is out now on physical formats after previously being released on digital formats.

The CD is presented as a jewel case with 4pp booklet.

Blonde boldly reimagines the life of one of Hollywood's most enduring icons, Marilyn Monroe. From her volatile childhood as Norma Jeane, through her rise to stardom and romantic entanglements, Blonde blurs the lines of fact and fiction to explore the widening split between her public and private selves. The film also stars Bobby Cannavale, Adrien Brody, Julianne Nicholson, Xavier Samuel and Evan Williams.

Cave and Ellis reflect on the making of the score: “Working with Andrew Dominik is always a challenging, but ultimately mind-blowing experience. Creating the score for this terrifying and complex reimagining of the Marilyn Monroe story was no different and, as always, it was a complete privilege to work with him. The darkest of films with a gorgeous spiritual score.”

Dominik commenting on “Pearly”: “Pure yearning, always coming and never arriving, great beauty just out of reach.”

Tolle Musik von Cave und Ellis und ziemlich anders als ihre anderen Scores der letzten Jahre. Viel mehr Elektronik mit ätherisch fließenden Flächen. Gefällt mir sehr gut!

Schon spannend, wie stark der JACKIE Temp Track in "Gemini Acoustic" durchkommt. Offensichtlich hat Mica Levi damals doch einen Nerv getroffen mit ihrer Musik, wenn sie jetzt solch einen Einfluss hat.
