Much like the UK composer’s score for Jonathan Glazer’s Under the Skin, Monos uses just a smattering of sounds to craft a world of deepening dread. – Andy Beta, Pitchfork

More Love For Mica Levi’s ‘Monos’ Score (Review) | Vehlinggo

On her score for Alejandro Landes’ MONOS, Levi exceeds anything she’s done in the past with a blissfully poignant and abstract set of cues that rely on her expert musicianship and Lena Esequenzis’ sound recordings that stand as intensely on their own as they do as part of the film.

Monos, score by Ivor Novello Award-winning and Academy Award-nominated composer Mica Levi gets a nice shoutout on Vehlinggo‘s One-Liners list!  For those who aren’t familiar, Vehlinggo’s One-Liners are the latest and greatest must-listen recommendations!  Monos – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is out now digitally on Invada Records and Lakeshore Records.  The vinyl edition will be released September 13, the day of the film’s US theatrical premiere.  See purchase links and more below. 

Directed by Alejandro Landes, the Latin American film festival darling and Sundance Special Jury Prize winner will represent Colombia in the International Feature Film category for next year’s Academy Awards®!
