Description
The Americana, folk and blues-based soundtrack to 'The Peanut Butter Falcon' features new and classic songs from Sara Watkins, (Nickel Creek, I'm With Her), Gregory Alan Isakov and The Staple Singers, among others, as well as a score composed by Zach Dawes, Jonathan Sadoff and members of The Punch Brothers, winners of the 2018 Grammy for Best Folk Album.
The heartwarming film, written and directed by Michael Schwartz and Tyler Nilson, starring Shia LaBeouf, Dakota Johnsonv and newcomer Zack Gottsagen, premiered this March at the South by Southwest Film Festival where it won the Audience Award in the Narrative Spotlight category.
"Michael Schwartz and Tyler Nilson are very musical and it was clear they heard what they wanted the film to sound like as they wrote the script... 'Atomic Throw' at the end of the picture is my favorite musical moment because it serves the fantastical elements of the story - the music branches off from previous arrangements and instrumentation in a nice ethereal manner. " - Zach Dawes, composer and music supervisor
"Music is an essential element in The Peanut Butter Falcon. One of the tracks that feels really special to us is the end credits song 'Running for So Long (House a Home)'. It was the last cue left unfilled and the whole team was trying to find something with the right feeling to leave the audience with. After countless suggestions, we invited our good friend Parker Ainsworth to come over to write something with us in our living room a week before the movie went to final mix. Within three hours we had written the song, recorded it on an iPhone, cut it to picture, and sent it to our producers." - Michael Schwartz & Tyler Nilson, writers and directors
Press:
"Blending an eclectic mix of bluegrass, folk, rock, and spirituals they have created a soundtrack that walks the line between timeless and contemporary...The tricky business for these musicians is to create music that moves the story forward yet can stand on its own two feet. On that basis, The Peanut Butter Falcon is nothing short of miraculous." - Folk Radio
