Nominated for 10 Academy Awards, including Best Original Score, and shot in the glorious, vintage VistaVision format, Brady Corbets The Brutalist stands as a monumental achievement in filmmaking. Opening with a mesmerizing and continuous 10-minute overture, composer Daniel Blumbergs music sets the stage for the films epic narrative, which spans multiple decades and follows fictional Hungarian architect Lszl Toth (played by Adrien Brody) as he rebuilds his life in post-war America. Encompassing large-scale brass orchestrations, intimately lyrical piano melodies and freewheeling, improvisational jazz, The Brutalists score is as ambitious and broad in scope as the film itself.

For the film’s frenetic and intoxicating jazz club scene, Blumberg assembled a jazz quartet (comprised of Pierre Borel on saxophone, Simon Sieger on piano, Joel Grip on bass, and Antonin Gerbal on drums) to perform improvised versions of his themes live on set, resulting in one of the films most electrifying numbers, as well as additional period-specific pieces that appear throughout the soundtrack. For the films 1980s-set Epilogue, Blumberg traveled to New York to work with synth-pop pioneer Vince Clarke (Depeche Mode, Erasure), deconstructing and rebuilding the films main theme into a redemptive, synth and drum machine-driven dance track befitting of the new era.

Pressed on 180-gram vinyl, the 2-LP release from Milan Records features printed sleeves housed in a gatefold package designed by The Brutalist title designer Sebastian Pardo in close collaboration with Daniel Blumberg.
