My Favourite Movie Score

Nope’s (Jordan Peele, 2022) soundtrack, composed by Michael Abels. The music has a strong presence in songs like The Run to build energy for an incredulous scene, whilst songs like Making The Trap are very gentle, low themes to give a sense of the slow and tedious act of making the plan. Pursuit has very intense, slow music to make an incredibly tense and grand ending. Overall, the music is great, exhibits the feelings of each scene incredibly well, knows when to bow out and be silent, and also pays respect to a lot of genres that inspire it / it has links to (like some cowboy-ish whistling and stings as an ode to the Western genre).
