Jake Xerxes Fussell & James Elkington have shared 2 songs, “Glow In The Dark” and “Contemplating The Moon”, off the soundtrack to the movie “Rebuilding” directed by Max Walker-Silverman to be released in November via Fat Possum.
Max Walker-Silverman shared this about the score: “I could hear the cinema in it right away. His music is rooted firmly in all the folkloric traditions I love but not at all nostalgic. And that was much like the film we were making; a story in which the past is all around but firmly of the here and now. And since so much of his music has no lyrics, Jake already understood the challenge of telling a story through instrumentation alone.”
James Elkington shared this about it: “I think Max had a suspicion that we’d be able to improvise a couple of new pieces in the room, while watching the picture, which turned out to be true. Some of our favorite cues were written that way, in the room while watching the picture. Not only are both “The Straight Story” and “Paris, Texas” great soundtracks, but the films themselves hold hands with Rebuilding as modern inversions of the western.”
“Rebuilding” synopsis says: “After losing the old family ranch to a wildfire, a cowboy, Dusty, winds up in a small FEMA camp in the vast American West. The last of a long line of ranchers, he’s stranded between the legacy of his land and the changes to it. But he begins to reconnect with his young daughter, Callie Rose, and his ex wife, Ruby, and ultimately the neighborhood around him that he never chose-a world of people who all lost their houses like he did. Together they find an unlikely community-and maybe even hope, beauty, and a future in this wild place.”
