Mostly Analytical, Quintessentially Overdramatic
Welcome to another emotionally charged period drama original score. This week we’re throwing it back to Joe Wright's Atonement, original score by Dario Marianelli. There are a lot of mixed feelings about this movie given most of what happens, but we’ve yet to encounter someone who’s a fan of such scores say that Atonement's isn’t... Continue Reading →
When Warner Bros. decided to bring in Joss Whedon to take over directing for Justice League, the film lost not only its director, but its original composer, Tom Holkenborg. Also known as "Junkie XL", Holkenborg had collaborated with Hans Zimmer for the preceding Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, helping Zimmer expand the established themes... Continue Reading →
It's another Monday, but we're back with another original score that never ceases to stun us. While Sanditon as a series may have ended with the type of heartbreak that makes the show hard to revisit, it's original score by Ruth Barrett is an addicting beauty.

And unsurprisingly, since we are all obsessed with scores, this one needed to be highlighted this week--especially because we can't seem to take "Everytime You Leave" off of replay. The score is mostly enamoring and a magical gut-punch that hits... Continue Reading →

It's a new year, but it's the return of former categories. It's about time we start talking about music again especially when in this house, original scores are our everything. Is this not what everyone else has replay right now? We can't be the only ones, right? It's too good. I'm not someone who could... Continue Reading →
