Jim Rourke - Hands That Bind (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) - New LP

Format: New LP Label: Drag City Cat. No. DC839 Barcode: 781484083917 Released: 07/07/2023

O’Rourke’s process – sourcing resonant sounds to be enmeshed together into a music that supersedes their resident parts – makes a fitting soundtrack for Kyle Armstrong’s “prairie gothic” tale of down-on-the-farm horror way up north in Canada. His minimalist score inhabits the wide open, big sky landscape, flowing into suddenly-deep (and opaque) emotional waters, then panning out to a chilly omniscient remove.
