Xiu Xiu frontman Jamie Stewart has scored an upcoming short film called Tzara, whose trailer you can check out below. Above is its theme music, and while ostensibly yet another one of Stewart's characteristically noisy drones, it is among his most well-textured and rousing to date.

Jóhann Jóhannsson - The Miners' Hymns

VideostheneedledropComment

Icelandic electronic musician and contemporary classical music composer Jóhann Jóhannsson broke into the mainstream consciousness earlier this year with his breathtaking score for the acclaimed Hollywood film Prisoners. Now, he's set to take his astounding score for last year's Bill Morrison-directed documentary The Miners' Hymns on the road for a handful of screenings, which you can find information about on his website. Jóhannsson will be constructing the music live with a number of brass ensembles, and judging from the above rehearsal video, it's going to be fucking epic. Check it!
