Composer and Multi-Instrumentalist Will Bates Creates Futuristic Soundtrack for "Bliss" ft. Salma Hayek & Owen Wilson

Available everywhere now, the album features music from the romantic sci-fi thriller by writer and director Mike Cahill, which makes its debut on Prime Video and in select theaters on Friday, February 5 from Amazon Studios. This marks the third collaboration between BATES and Cahill.

Of the soundtrack, BATES says, "Collaborating with Mike Cahill continues to be one of my greatest joys. He is a visionary, and he's always pushing the boundaries of what is possible. There's so much mutual trust when we work together. He has the ability of putting everyone he works with in this safe, magical environment that really encourages experimentation. I find myself being challenged in new ways and, despite having worked on so many projects together, it seems as if I'm always trying something new with him... The key was to find the tonal balance that the story has; this mind-bending almost absurdist reality against Greg's heartbreaking journey. The scale of the movie let me really stretch the palette. Along with all sorts of mangled analogue synths, this was my first experience with a full orchestra, and also one that allowed me to dip into my background as a jazz saxophonist."

The 24-track album includes the movie's score as well as a new original song entitled "You And I," which features vocals from Skye Edwards of Morcheeba. Unfolding as a crucial sonic suite, it plays over the end credits and during a key scene in the film. On the track, BATES built a bed of warm strings to accompany an entrancing, engaging, and ethereal performance by Edwards. Her voice sails over this rich backdrop towards a hypnotic crescendo. The album boasts the original and Fall On Your Sword Remix.
