A Ghost Story is the new film from director David Lowery (Pete's Dragon) starring Casey Affleck (Manchester By The Sea) and Rooney Mara (Carol). In this singular exploration of legacy, love, loss, and the enormity of existence, the movie follows a recently deceased white-sheeted ghost returning to his suburban home to try and reconnect with his bereft wife. Highly anticipated, A Ghost Story is being released by A24 on July 7, 2017.
The score to A Ghost Story was composed by Lowery's frequent collaborator Daniel Hart (Tumbledown). In his most ambitious work yet, Hart has crafted a score that is both astral in sound and cosmic in scope, making the overwhelming fear of eternity feel a little more manageable. "I Get Overwhelmed", a gorgeous track by Hart's band Dark Rooms, is treated to a prolonged play in the film and is featured on this release. The compositions created for A Ghost Story will haunt you long after the final credits have rolled.
In addition to CD and digital releases, we are pleased to announce a deluxe vinyl release. The music is pressed on 180 gram white vinyl housed in an interior Eurosleeve featuring an unnerving turn-of-the-century ghost photograph. A handsome dress jacket treated with a glow-in-the-dark coating allows the title and eponymous ghost to seemingly leap from the cover when the lights go out. As beautiful and unique as the film itself, this vinyl release is one you can't afford to miss.
