V.A. OST Boy Erased

Boy Erased is a 2018 American coming-of-age drama film based on
Garrard Conley’s 2016 memoir of the same name. The score to the movie is
composed by Danny Bensi & Saunder Jurriaans. The film featuring original
songs by Jónsi (Sigur Rós) and Troye Sivan. Sivan spoke about the song
during a recent tour stop in New York City. “I got together with Jónsi of Sigur
Rós and Leland. Joel Edgerton (writer/director) showed us a scene from the
movie, and I don’t want to spoil anything, but it’s this one moment of relief in
the film,” he said. In scoring Boy Erased, Danny and Saunder decided early
on that following main character Jared’s emotional journey was the key to
creating a poignant and beautiful score. Also, being extremely careful not
to over-score and therefore “sway” the audience into how they should think
or feel.
Boy Erased tells the courageous story of Jared (Lucas Hedges), the son
of a Baptist pastor in a small American town, who is outed to his parents
(Nicole Kidman and Russell Crowe) at age 19. Jared is faced with an
ultimatum: attend a conversion therapy program, or be permanently exiled
and shunned by his family, friends and faith. Boy Erased is the true story
of one young man’s struggle to find himself while being forced to question
every aspect of his identity. Sivan also acts alongside Hedges as Gary, a
fellow conversion therapy student.
The Boy Erased package contains a 4-page booklet and exclusive poster.
The release is available as a limited edition of 2.000 numbered copies on
transparent vinyl and you’ll find secret inscriptions in the run-out groove.
