Back in 2009, NICK CAVE published a darkly comic novel about a sex-addicted salesman, titled The Death of Bunny Munro. When it came out, Cave and his longtime sidekick and bad seed WARREN ELLIS scored an audiobook.

Now, The Death Of Bunny Munro has been adapted
into a TV show, and Cave and Ellis wrote a completely
different soundtrack for it.

It’s a compelling, goosebumps and gloomy score, with Cave‘s intimate piano play,
Ellis‘ sinister violin pieces and shadowy synth textures are prominent in the middle.
It’s 99,99 % instrumental, a sombre and darksome symphony.

I’m not really into soundtracks (without seeing the movie, that is).
But the masterly duo have created a chilling opus that spellbinds
all the way.

Fascinating.
