Minimalist but epic, dark but glorious, dreary but organic the soundtrack to the Road conveys exactly what the film presented; a glimmering hope in complete turmoil. Not only that but it could possibly the best work from both of the artists involved, referring to their work with The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, Cave’s award winning score to The Proposition, Ellis’ band Dirty Three, and whatever else they have been a part of. The Road soundtrack completes maybe one of the decade’s most prevailing trilogies, while standing on its own as a modern classical masterpiece, taking its place beside Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Lustmord as creating a perfect soundtrack for the apocalypse.
