Philip Selway's Let Me Go score is out with the film

Philip Selway's score for Let Me Go, Polly Steele's film, is out digitally today, the day the film opens in British cinemas. It follows his two solo albums, Familial in 2010 and Weatherhouse in 2014. Bella Union's physical release follows on 27 October.

The film comes from a memoir by the Austrian-born writer Helga Schneider. Her mother, Traudi, left the family when Helga was four to train as a guard in the Nazi camps. As an adult Helga traced her to Vienna, and found her still proud of having served at Auschwitz-Birkenau.

Laura Moody arranged the strings. Selway sings on only two of the 14 tracks, “Wide Open” and the title song. Lou Rhodes of Lamb sings “Walk”, and she is in the film too, singing it in a nightclub scene.
