• Available August 1st, 2025.
• Ship orders including this title will be held back.

Nominated for 10 Academy Awards, including Best Original Score, and shot in the glorious, vintage VistaVision format, Brady Corbet’s The Brutalist stands as a monumental achievement in filmmaking. Opening with a mesmerizing and continuous 10-minute overture, composer Daniel Blumberg’s music sets the stage for the film’s epic narrative, which spans multiple decades and follows fictional Hungarian architect László Toth (played by Adrien Brody) as he rebuilds his life in post-war America. Encompassing large-scale brass orchestrations, intimately lyrical piano melodies and freewheeling, improvisational jazz, The Brutalist’s score is as ambitious and broad in scope as the film itself.

For the film's frenetic and intoxicating jazz club scene, Blumberg assembled a jazz quartet to perform improvised versions of his themes live on set, resulting in one of the film’s most electrifying numbers. For the film’s 1980s-set Epilogue, Blumberg collaborated with synth-pop pioneer Vince Clarke (Depeche Mode, Erasure), deconstructing and rebuilding the film’s main theme into a redemptive, synth and drum machine-driven dance track befitting the era it soundtracks.

Heavyweight 2LP vinyl edition produced by Milan Records in 2025. Features inner printed sleeves housed in a gatefold package designed by The Brutalist title designer Sebastian Pardo.
