The Brutalist (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) [2LP] Vinyl
Nominated for 10 Academy Awards, including Best Original Score, The Brutalist is as much an auditory marvel as it is a cinematic one. Daniel Blumberg’s sweeping soundtrack matches the film’s epic scale, opening with a spellbinding 10-minute overture that sets the tone for a decades-spanning story of resilience, artistry, and reinvention.
Blumberg crafts the score as “slabs of sound” – vast and resonant, yet meticulously sculpted. Towering brass orchestrations meet lyrical piano passages, while bursts of freeform jazz inject raw vitality. The result mirrors the Brutalist architectural aesthetic: imposing yet elemental, grand yet deeply human.
To capture its singular sonic textures, Blumberg collaborated with avant-garde icons like Axel Dörner, Evan Parker, Sophie Agnel, and John Tilbury, recording in unique locations across Europe with a custom-built mobile studio. For the film’s unforgettable jazz club scene, a live quartet performed improvised renditions of Blumberg’s themes on set, brimming with period authenticity and restless energy.
The journey concludes in the 1980s, where synth-pop pioneer Vince Clarke reimagines the main theme into a triumphant, drum machine-driven finale. Mixed and co-produced by Peter Walsh, this 2LP set delivers a listening experience as ambitious, textured, and unforgettable as the film itself – a true masterpiece of modern soundtrack composition.
