Jonny Greenwood's soundtrack album Bodysong is out today on Parlophone in Britain and much of continental Europe, 12 days after the whole record leaked online. W.A.S.T.E., the band's mail-order shop, has it for anyone whose local shop doesn't.
The film is Simon Pummell's Bodysong, which has no dialogue and follows a human life from birth to death in images gathered over the past hundred years; it is due in cinemas in December.
Jonny made the score at the end of 2002, in time off from Radiohead, with the band's engineer Graeme Stewart at their studio in Oxford. It moves between electronic and acoustic pieces, played with the Emperor String Quartet and a jazz group led by the trumpeter Gerard Presencer, and Colin Greenwood plays bass on “24 Hour Charleston”.
