The score for Wind River is by singer-songwriter and composer Nick Cave and his regular collaborator, multi-instrumentalist Warren Ellis. Over the past decade or so Cave and Ellis have become the go-to musicians for unsentimental, dour depictions of the contemporary American west through scores like The Proposition, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, The Road, Lawless, and last year’s Hell or High Water; this music is an offshoot of Cave’s own darkly idiosyncratic examinations of the time and the place, the pinnacle of which was his 1996 solo concept album Murder Ballads, a tragi-comic homage to various morbid and blood-soaked cowboy legends. In the past, while I have appreciated their work, I have never really felt a strong emotional connection with their soundtrack music, but this has changed with Wind River, which I believe to be their strongest cinematic work to date.
