Today marks the release of the highly anticipated original soundtrack for the new movie ‘Daaaaaalí!’, directed by the renowned Quentin Dupieux, with the musical genius Thomas Bangalter at the helm.

The Surreal Soundscape of Quentin Dupieux’s Latest Film

Composed and performed entirely by Thomas Bangalter, the soundtrack is a testament to his versatility and creativity. Known for his work as one half of the iconic electronic duo Daft Punk, Bangalter steps into new territory with ‘Daaaaaalí!’, delivering a haunting and atmospheric score that perfectly complements Dupieux’s vision.

The soundtrack is available in two formats: a limited edition 10” vinyl accompanied by a poster, and digitally for streaming or download. This dual release ensures that fans of both physical and digital media can immerse themselves in Bangalter’s sonic masterpiece.

Pedro Winter, the label boss of Ed Banger Records, expressed his excitement about the collaboration between two titans of their respective fields: “Releasing this soundtrack with two of my all-time favorite artists felt like a natural and obvious choice! Since ‘Steak’ in 2007, Ed Banger Records has released most of Quentin Dupieux’s original soundtracks. When he told me he wanted to involve Thomas Bangalter in his project DAAAAAALÍ!, I knew it would become something special.”

The synergy between Dupieux and Bangalter is evident in the way the music becomes a character in the film, seamlessly weaving through the narrative and enhancing the surreal atmosphere. Bangalter’s decision to use an ancient zither, recorded in his Parisian studio, adds a unique texture to the soundtrack, transporting listeners to another realm altogether.

Winter further elaborates on the creative process behind the soundtrack: “Both Thomas and Quentin had a pretty clear idea of how the music could and should become a character in the film. Stepping out of his comfort zone, Thomas used only an ancient zither and recorded it in his Parisian studio. He delivered this repetitive theme from the 1930s that gets directly into your head and perfectly aligns with the surreal vision of this brilliant director.”

The ‘Daaaaaalí!’ soundtrack celebrates the golden age of music and cinema, evoking a sense of nostalgia while remaining fresh and innovative. It is a testament to the enduring power of collaboration and creativity in the world of film and music.

As the movie ‘Daaaaaalí!’ continues to captivate audiences in select cinemas across Europe, the soundtrack stands as a standalone piece of art, inviting listeners to embark on a sonic journey unlike any other. With Thomas Bangalter’s masterful composition and Quentin Dupieux’s visionary direction, ‘Daaaaaalí!’ promises to be an unforgettable cinematic experience from start to finish.
