Looks like maybe this'll get a theatrical release in 2017? Can't wait to hear McCreary's score.

Looks interesting. Based on his work for Cloverfield I'm looking forward to this.

"A Monster Hypothesis" cue (Track #2 on the album) at the link above. Also this:

“I chose to focus the music entirely on Gloria,” explained McCreary. “We witness the fantastic events through her eyes, so I generally chose to score her reaction to the events, rather than the events themselves.”

McCreary took an unusual approach to working on the film – he started at the end. “It was vitally important that the score deliver an epic, soaring finale, without overpowering or destroying the tone of the film. The last 12 minutes of the film was the first thing I wrote. Once the final reel was approved by the director and studio it was an easier process to reverse engineer the rest of the score.” He continued, “I wanted the score to feel almost schizophrenic for the first hour of the film. Like, some edgy indie rock band scored half of it, and a classically-trained orchestral composer scored the other half. Then, as the film progresses, the two musical styles merge to form a coherent vision.”

Enjoying this. It is very much a companion score to 10 Cloverfield Lane, though with less blaster beam and more indie vibe.

Why isn't this score getting more hype around here? confused Bear is not a big enough name yet?

Colossal is one of those scores that I respect more than I enjoy listening to. A lot of the middle of the album doesn't leave much of an impression. I really like the first two and last two cues, though. Even when Bear's music doesn't grab me, I always appreciate the craft behind it.
