Kevin Morby‘s latest work is the hauntingly beautiful Montana Story Soundtrack, a neo-Western film set against the vast and picturesque backdrop of Montana‘s Big Sky Country. The album’s closing track, “Like a Flower,” is a mesmerizing tune that perfectly captures the film’s essence of loneliness, isolation, and moments of warmth and connection. Morby collaborated with Rob Barbato to create a score that is as deep and captivating as the film itself, showcasing his musical prowess and versatility.
For Morby, scoring a film has been a long-time dream, and Montana Story provided him with the perfect opportunity to bring this dream to fruition. The film tells the story of two estranged siblings who return to their family ranch, where they confront deep and bitter secrets. Morby‘s score perfectly captures the film’s sweeping visuals and the vast, open spaces of Montana, making the audience feel as if they are part of the story.
To accompany the album, a music video for “Like a Flower,” was released featuring some more breathtaking shots of the landscapes in the movie. Music From Montana Story is a triumph to Morby‘s skill as a composer and his ability to create music that speaks to the soul.
