Arcade Fire Preview New Orchestral Soundtrack

Arcade Fire have unveiled two tracks written for new film ‘The Hunger Games’.

‘Abraham’s Daughter’ dropped online last week and can be found here, while newly-revealed ‘Horn Of Plenty’ is currently streaming on Stereogum.

Win Butler had this to say:

“We were interested in making music that would be more integral in the movie, just as a mental exercise. And there’s an anthem that runs throughout the books, the national anthem of the fascist Capitol. So as a thought experiment, we tried to write what that might sound like. It’s like the Capitol’s idea of itself, basically. It’s not a pop song or anything– more of an anthem that could be playing at a big sporting event like the Games. So we did a structure for that, and then James Newton Howard made a movie-score version of it that happens in several places in the film.”

The film is now playing in theaters nationwide.
