Nick Cave and Warren Ellis score The Road

Nick Cave and Warren Ellis
Dec 10, 2009 Updated Dec 11, 2009

The soundtrack to the film adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's novel 'The Road', penned by none other than Nick Cave and Warren Ellis, is due for release on January 15.

Nick Cave and his Bad Seeds and Grinderman partner in crime, Warren Ellis, have produced their fair share of soundtracks for dark and unsettling cinema. 

The duo collaborated on music for the acclaimed 2005 Australian quasi-Western The Proposition, and 2007’s The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.

Their next offering is a score for the movie adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s terrifying Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Road, which Cave has described as a “light, haunting, simple score, with a sense of absence and loss at its heart”.

The highly anticipated film is directed by John Hillcoat and stars Viggo Mortensen, and will be release here at the end of January.

The soundtrack is due out a little earlier on January 15.
