True History Of The Kelly Gang Vinyl (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

Description

"Jed Kurzel contributes a memorable score, taut with pared-down strings and dark folk elements, supplemented by acoustic numbers"

Background:
True History of the Kelly Gang shatters the mythology of the notorious Australian icon to reveal the essence behind the life of Ned Kelly and force a country to stare back into the ashes of its brutal past. Spanning the younger years of Ned's life to the time leading up to his death, the film explores the blurred boundaries between what is bad and what is good, and the motivations for the demise of its hero. Youth and tragedy collide in the Kelly Gang, and at the beating heart of this tale is the fractured and powerful love story between a mother and a son.
