The soundtrack for Cosmopolis reunites composer
Howard Shore and the band METRIC for another cinematic collaboration. While
writing the score for David Cronenberg’s film adaptation of the Don DeLillo novel Cosmopolis,
Shore conceived of a particular live sound to achieve his vision and invited
METRIC to perform the score and co-write three songs. The music was recorded in
November 2011 at the band’s own Giant Studios in Toronto, produced by Howard
Shore and METRIC guitarist Jimmy Shaw, and mixed by John O’Mahony at Liberty
Studios in Toronto and Electric Lady Studios in NYC. The result is an
atmospheric, urban soundscape of analog synths and layered guitars featuring
the hypnotic vocals of METRIC lead singer Emily Haines. The Cosmopolis soundtrack
also features “Mecca” by Somali Singer/Rapper K’NAAN with lyrics by the artist
and Don DeLillo.
