Scott Walker’s orchestral soundtrack to The Childhood Of A Leader is being released by 4AD on Friday the 19th of August.
Partly inspired by Jean-Paul Sartre’s short story of the same name, The Childhood Of A Leader is a tense psychological drama tracing the formative years of a young boy and set against the backdrop of the 1919 Paris Peace Conference that led to the establishment of the Treaty of Versailles.
A key and compelling component to Brady Corbet’s directorial debut, it is Scott’s first O.S.T. work since his remarkable score for Pola X in 1999. Walker continues to work with long-term collaborators Peter Walsh (co-producer) and Mark Warman (musical director), with the latter conducting an orchestra comprised of 46 string players and 16 brass for the studio recording.
The soundtrack will be available on CD, LP and download and is available to pre-order now. Please note that two LP editions are being pressed – black vinyl and a limited run on transparent vinyl (CADD 3620). The full tracklisting is below and you can listen to the track ‘RUN’ here.
