Milan Records will release a soundtrack album for the period drama Queer. The album features the film’s original score written, arranged, produced, performed, programmed and mixed by Academy Award winners Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross (The Social Network, Watchmen, Challengers, Soul, Gone Girl, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Bones and All). Also included is the end credits song Vaster Than Empires written by the composers (with lyrics inspired by William S. Burroughs’ memoirs) and performed by themselves and Brazilian vocalist Caetano Veloso. The soundtrack will be released digitally tomorrow, December 6 (visit Amazon or any other major digital music services to stream/download). Also listen to the song and first score track below. Queer is directed by Luca Guadagnino and stars Daniel Craig, Drew Starkey, Lesley Manville, Omar Apollo, Henrique Zaga and Jason Schwartzman. The movie based on Burroughs’ novella of the same title is set in the 1950s and follows an American expat in Mexico City who spends his days almost entirely alone, when he meets an expat former soldier who is new to the city and shows him, for the first time, that it might be finally possible to establish an intimate connection with somebody. The drama, which premiered at this year’s Venice Film Festival, was released in Los Angeles and New York last week by A24 and will expand to more markets over the next couple of weeks.
