Daniel Lopatin – Uncut Gems Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

This time he’s soundtracking a very intriguing vehicle for Adam Sandler, who’s stepped outside of the usual goof roles to play Howie Bling, a jewellery dealer in a big American city. Like the Safdie brother’s engrossingly classic yet modern style of storytelling, Lopatin’s soundtrack is fittingly reminiscent of classic late ‘70s and ‘80s synth scores but feels up to date, especially in pieces such as the pulsating technoid theme ‘School Play’ and the tweaky tones of ‘Fuck You Howard’, and all peppered with dialogue from the film.
