Stream the Soundtrack to Ryan Gosling’s LOST RIVER Now!

If you haven’t watched the trailer to Ryan Gosling’s directorial debut called Lost River, correct that now. While early buzz has been mixed, I’m excited to see the film. I think it is also cool that Johnny Jewel scored the film, considering he was going to be the original composer for Refn’s Drive (See Symmetry: Themes for an Imaginary Film where some of Jewel’s ideas and possibly leftout compositions lay). Lost River looks dreamy, hypnotic and a nightmare of Americana.

From the Press Release

Performer/producer/visual artist and composer Johnny Jewel scores Warner Bros.’ thriller LOST RIVER, opening in theaters April 10, 2015.

Directed and written by Ryan Gosling, LOST RIVER is a dark fairy tale about love, family and the fight for survival in the face of danger starring Christina Hendricks, Eva Mendes, and Ben Mendelsohn. The multi-talented Jewel provides a grainy analog synth score that is both emotive and haunting, setting the tone for film’s dreamlike setting.

The LOST RIVER soundtrack is available March 30th, 2015 on Jewel’s Italians Do It Better record label and will feature original tracks from the Chromatics, Desire, and Glass Candy.

In the virtually abandoned city of Lost River, a single mother of two (Hendricks) is led into a macabre underworld in her quest to save her childhood home and hold her family together.

Gosling had approached Johnny Jewel to score his directorial debut “Lost River” while it was still in the concept stage, convincing Jewel to do it after he completed the script.

“When Ryan e-mailed me the script my immediate feeling was that the whole film should be sonically immersed in metal and water. I started sending Ryan music in February of 2013 for his early trips to scout locations. Ryan and I live seven minutes away from one another, so we’d watch the film at his house at night, and then we’d drive over to my house and experiment with musical ideas in my studio,” said Jewel.

Gosling and Johnny Jewel met during Nicolas Winding Refn’s DRIVE, for which Jewel contributed additional music including his band Desire’s song “Under Your Spell.”

Jewel had previously scored Winding Refn’s film BRONSON starring Tom Hardy. Johnny Jewel is best known as known as a musical artist and producer behind the bands Chromatics, Desire, and Glass Candy. Jewel is also the president of the independent record label Italians Do It Better.
