There were several great movie soundtracks released in 2018, and we've spent a lot of time talking about them, but what about the music from film without vocals? Indiewire has come up with the 10 best instrumental (sorry, Thom Yorke) movie scores of the year. Here are four of their ten choices, with sample clips and a link to each full album on Spotify - check out the rest at the source.
8. Annihilation (Ben Salisbury, Geoff Barrow)
Click to viewAnnihilation came out early this year to mixed reviews, but the soundtrack was widely appreciated by those who enjoyed the film. It's haunting, eerie and downright unsettling, and I searched for it the minute I got home from the theater. Check out the full score here.
6. Hereditary (Colin Stetson)
The sense of foreboding you feel watching Hereditary is accented by the score. This track sounds pleasant enough until the dissonance kicks in, at which point you realize that no, no, it's not pleasant at all. Check out the full score here.
5. If Beale Street Could Talk (Nicholas Britell)
The score for Beale Street blends perfectly with the film's visuals, with the tracks evoking the same sort of melacholic beauty. This clip has samples from tracks throughout the album. Check out the full album here.
1. You Were Never Really Here (Jonny Greenwood)
Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood, responsible for last year's amazing Phantom Thread soundtrack, makes another incredible contribution to film with his score for Lynne Ramsey's You Were Never Really Here. Check out the full soundtrack here.
