The new Netflix film Don’t Look Up may be getting more love for its music than the star-studded flick itself.
The film’s score was composed by the immensely-talented composer Nicholas Britell.
Britell’s other film score credits include Succession and If Beale Street Could Talk.
His style is distinctly orchestral, mixing together lush, sweeping string movements which are evident on the standout film track, “Second Nature,” in which indie star Bon Iver layers bright sounds and a breath of magic with an inspiring choir of background vocals.
Over the past few years, Bon Iver has really expanded his musical boundaries. His work with Taylor Swift has revealed a more introspective, even gloomy, side to Justin Vernon that fans haven’t seen in such fashion for a while.
The track includes contributions from yMusic’s CJ Camerieri (French horn and trumpet) and Rob Moose (strings), as well as vocals from Wye Oak’s Jenn Wasner (vocals).
The film stars Jennifer Lawrence, Leonardo DiCaprio, Meryl Streep, Ariana Grande, and Timothee Chalamet, among others.
