Between promoting his new novel, The Death of Bunny Munro, a new Grinderman album on the way, and these upcoming film scores, Nick Cave and Warren Ellis are having quite the prolific year. As a member of Dirty Three, Bad Seeds, and Grinderman, Ellis has been working with Cave for almost two decades and now the pair are releasing White Lunar, a collection of their compositions for film, which also includes one of the clips below.
The first stream is from the much-hyped The Road, John Hillcoat’s directorial follow-up to the excellent Cave-penned The Proposition. The film, which stars Viggo Mortensen, Charlize Theron, Guy Pearce, and Robert Duvall, is an adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by the same name.
The latter instrumental is from The Girls of Phnom Penh, a film about three girls growing up in Cambodia amid the country’s rampant sex industry. Stream the clips here and here or embedded below:
