Milan Records will release 'Under The Skin: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack' on March 31st 2014. The music, which plays a critical role in the film and has been mentioned numerous times in reviews, is by British-born Mica Levi, known by her stage name Micachu. She is classically trained and is best known for her band Micachu & The Shapes and for experimental music in a variety of genres.

Tracklist:
1. Creation
2. Lips to Void
3. Andrew Void
4. Meat to Maths
5. Drift
6. Lonely Void
7. Mirror to Vortex
8. Bedroom
9. Love
10. Bothy
11. Death
12. Alien Loop

The film is getting RAVES, almost all of them mentioning Levi's disturbing, Penderecki-esque string score, clips of which can be heard in the trailer.

And there's me thinking gentlemen prefer blondes.

Superb score. A completely successful example of contemporary avant garde film music where the film's mood and visual textures are at one with the score.

Just saw this fascinating film and thought the score was excellent. Nicely spotted and some great effects with the instrumentation that was chosen. Definitely added another powerful dimension to the film. Will be keeping an ear out for future Mica Levi projects...

I'm curious Dan, what exactly in this score is considered "typical" by your standards?
