"a fabulous score composed by Scott Alario and Alex Somers” thewrap
"Scott Alario and Alex Somers' score is also an essential component, a shrieking ribbon that ties the mismatched pieces of the film together. The score is often subtle, even melodic and lilting. But as moments of horror approach, it employs screeching horns and piercing tones that fill the pit of one's stomach with dread.” ew
Score written, produced and performed, by American visual artist and musician Alex Somers (Captain Fantastic, Causeway, Hale County This Morning, This Evening”, How to Train Your Dragon, We Bought a Zoo, Honey Boy, Here We Are: Notes for Living on Planet Earth, Mars) and Scott Alario (Hale County This Morning, This Evening)
Somers has produced and mixed a large number of records, including those of Sigur Rós, Jónsi, Julianna Barwick, Briana Marela, Death Vessel, Sin Fang, Pascal Pinon.
Alex has recorded with Jónsi (also Jónsi and Alex), had a band Parachutes and has created artwork for Sigur Rós, Jónsi & Alex and others.
Scott Alario has recorded several solo releases, including: Sorry I’m Late, Parachutes, Busy and Tree Roots, he is also a visual artist.
Elwood Curtis’s college dream shatters alongside a two-lane Florida highway. Bearing the brunt of an innocent misstep, he’s sentenced to the netherworld of Nickel Academy, a brutal reformatory sunk deep in the Jim Crow South. He encounters another ward, the seen-it-all Turner. The two Black teens strike up an alliance: Turner dispensing fundamental tips for survival, Elwood, clinging to his optimistic worldview. Backdropped by the burgeoning Civil Rights Movement, Elwood and Turner’s existence appear worlds away from Rev. Martin Luther King’s burnished oratory. Despite Nickel’s brutality, Elwood strives to hold onto his humanity, awakening a new vision for Turner.
