Description
Mutant, in partnership with Warner Records, are proud to present Z Berg’s beautiful and haunting original soundtrack to JT Mollner’s secret masterpiece Strange Darling.

The less you know about Strange Darling before you see it, the better (forgive us for tip-toeing around context). But you can safely listen to Z Berg’s exceptional soundtrack safely without spoilers.

Director JT Mollner and Z initially bonded over vintage single artist soundtracks as a days-gone tradition of filmmaking. But what they have produced together is evocative of New Hollywood, 70's-exploitation, right down to the soundtrack you want to have in your collection.

Z Berg (The Like, Phases) has produced a collection of stunning acoustic ballads all written for the film, that feel slightly haunted - and that is intentional. Given the note was ""haunting beauty with a pervasive feeling of overpowering sorrow – think Julee Cruise, Leonard Cohen and Sibyelle Baier"". After all, expectations are everything with this film, and no matter how many times you listen to these sublime indie-pop originals and covers (including a transcendent version of ‘Love Hurts’ featuring Keith Carridine) you will always feel like you are waiting for the other shoe to drop.
