MY COUSIN RACHEL
Rael Jones, 2017, Sony Classical
26 tracks, 49:55
Rael Jones has plenty of technical credits to his name, along with many compositions for short films. My Cousin Rachel is not his first feature, but it may just prove to be his brake-out score.
LIFE
Jon Ekstrand, 2017, Milan Records
16 tracks, 57:53
Swedish composer Jon Ekstrand impressed with his stylish Child 44 score. Delving into the sci-fi / horror genre, can he impress again?
THE HANDMAID’S TALE
Adam Taylor, 2017, Lakeshore Records
17 tracks, 37:19
Dark, slow, aching, melancholy – doesn’t sound like a bundle of joy, but fans of ‘Nordic Noir’-type scores should rejoice. The Handmaid’s Tale is a bit of a slow-burner, but it’s very effective and ultimately quite emotional.
