Johnny Jewel - Home Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (2016) [Hi-Res]

Johnny Jewel makes music that calls upon the venue of cinema so regularly, that when he actually creates something meant to go along with film, it almost seems more meta than the imaginary films he’s themed in other projects. Likewise, the whole of the Italians Do It Better catalog exists in this space between album and film, never content with just one definition, always breaking the boundaries between worlds with all its shimmering pieces crashing into each other in a stunning and glittering universe. A few years ago, Jewel soundtracked Ryan Gosling’s directorial debut, Lost River, in stunning fashion, combining new songs by Chromatics and Symmetry with Glass Candy and Desire rehashes alongside classic takes on “Deep Purple”. The film and score felt like the perfect follow to Gosling and Jewel’s spiritual collaboration during the filming of Nicholas Refn’s Drive, a true statement from both artists. This year, Jewel returns to the scoring business for Belgian director Fien Troch’s new film Home. Troch’s film tells a story that we can all relate with: discontented teenagers struggling to make the settled lives of their parents a fit home for their blossoming individualism. Where Drive showed the phenomenal potential for Johnny Jewel’s music to embrace to beauty of the road film, such does Home become the road film of the heart. Jewel’s soundtrack to the film is a beautiful, fractured narrative of youth in revolt, and all of the hesitancy and self-doubt that comes along with it. In one of the most contemplative Italians Do It Better releases we’ve seen in years, Jewel’s soundtrack to Home is an instant classic. ...
