Exclusive: First Listen & Tracklist For Robin Guthrie & Harold Budd's Soundtrack For 'White Bird In A Blizzard'

White Bird In A BlizzardFor a film already moving along with its own dreamlike tenor and mood, director Gregg Araki wanted to ensure the sonic elements matched the rest of his carefully calibrated film "White Bird in a Blizzard." So why not enlist the talents of former Cocteau Twins member Robin Guthrie and avant pianist Harold Budd? After all, it’s a collaboration that has worked before.

The musical duo first paired up to score Araki’s "Mysterious Skin" and also released a pair of albums together. And together they return for ‘Blizzard,’ and the results are pretty gorgeous. Below, you can hear a six-minute preview of the entire soundtrack, and it gives a nice sense of the airy, ethereal work on display. And even if most of the tracks see Guthrie and Budd working separately, it still feels like there’s a unified vision behind the songs.

"White Bird In A Blizzard" opens on VOD on September 25th and in limited release on October 24th. The soundtrack will be available via Lakeshore Records digitally on September 23rd, with a CD release to follow this fall. The preview, artwork and tracklist is below.
