'Snow Angels' Score Is Plaintive, Twinkly Electro-Acoustic Goodness To Start The Weekend

We've gone on many times about David Gordon Green, his newest film, "Snow Angels," his go-to music composer David Wingo of the folky, indie group Ola Podrida, and Wingo's new music partner Jeff McIlwain (aka electronic artist Lusine)

Wingo and McIlwain composed the electro-acoustic score to 'Angels' and it's the perfect mix of plaintive, pensive guitars and twinkingly electronics that we're a sucker for (and certain people call us wusses for liking, oh well).

Green has a great knack for selecting good music for his films and 'Angels' continues this trend featuring atmospheric tracks by A Silver Mt. Zion, Mono and an original song written specificallly for the film by Explosions in the Sky (all of the songs featured in "Snow Angels" are listed here). A track by the National, is also featured in the film's trailer.

But it's the original composers (
Wingo and McIlwain) and their pastoral, ambient score that is getting its due on 'disc' (available digitally only).

So we culled together some tracks
Snow Angels: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack for your weekend ears. Enjoy.
