The Power of the Dog, directed by Jane Campion, is due to arrive on Netflix in December, and will star Benedict Cumberbatch, Kirsten Dunst, Jesse Plemons and more.
The upcoming Netflix film is scored by none other than Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood (Spencer, Licorice Pizza, Phantom Thread, The Master), and two songs - "25 Years" and "West" - have been unveiled ahead of the full score arriving digitally next month.
Speaking about Greenwood, Campion told Variety, "Jonny Greenwood, our composer, is a genius. Simple as that."
Greenwood said of the score and film, "The main thought I kept returning to was that this film is set in the modern era. It’s too easy to assume any cowboy story takes place in the 19th century. There is so much culture in Phil’s character. He’s well-read, and it isn’t hard to imagine his taste in music being - alongside his proficiency on the banjo - very sophisticated. The pleasure in a character this complex and emotionally pent-up is that it allows for complexity in some of the music, as well as simpler, sweeter things for his contrasting brother. Bouncing between these two characters, musically, generated a lot of ideas."
