Dispatches From Elsewhere (2020)

[halo33]

I'm surprised I didn't see a thread on this, but Atticus, Leopold, & Claudia did the music for the AMC show, "Dispatches From Elsewhere".

It's actually quite a good show, starring Jason Segal, Sally Field, Andre3000, Eve Lindley and the one & only Richard E. Grant. The season finale is Monday the 27th. Curious if anyone else is watching.

The score is some of the strongest work I've seen from Atticus tbh. Really enhances the show and is quite moving. Disappointing that I have been unable to find anything from it online.

The soundtracks will be released digitally next Friday, May 1.

Two albums?! This Friday?? Awesome news, thank you for sharing.

Also, this is a good kick in the pants to finally check out Dispatches From Elsewhere – has always looked like a super cool show, even before I knew of The Family Ross' involvement.

YES! Great news. I'll definitely be picking it up.

The finale sure was....different..
Rare to be surprised by a show these days.

Whoa! Great track. Dare I say some of The Ross fam's best work.

Also, according to that article, the first album is out today(!!) which is apparently the more electronic-oriented of the 2 whereas the second album (out tomorrow) is more guitar-based. Cool!

Things Lakeshore Records have done today: updated their Twitter and Facebook banner with a promo image for these soundtracks, noting that you can stream both via Spotify and Apple Music.

Things they haven't done: released these soundtracks via Bandcamp (which today is donating all its fees to the artists). I want to buy these albums!

I messaged them on Instagram asking if they were going to release these soundtracks on Bandcamp because I wanted the artists involved to get 100% of the profits, and they deleted my message..

Then I re-messaged them the same thing, and also asked them if they had figured out how to release the Patriot’s Day score on vinyl yet, and they deleted that one as well. They’re not a very considerate record label, in my humble opinion..

WOW. That's fucked up.

[Prettybrokenspiral]

It’s whatever. I had a gift card for the iTunes store someone gave me back at Christmas, and just used it to buy this score collection that way. Glad I did, because it’s pretty great..

This music is so good. I would buy this on vinyl in a heartbeat. "Memory To Media" was the one that killed me every time it came on the show.

[eversonpoe]

oh man i can't wait to watch this show

oh man i can't wait to watch this show

I'm halfway through it and it's utterly beautiful television. They also gave a lead role to an trans actor and so far have not pulled the typical hollywood "look we have a trans character now" shit. It's really wonderful, dude.

The soundtrack gives the Watchmen soundtrack a good run for its money too.

This is my 2nd favorite soundtrack after The Social Network. Bravo Atticus

There is something about the E-bow.

There is something about the E-bow.

best $100 i ever spent in high school. i've had mine for 19 years and i still use it pretty regularly.

glad atticus likes it, not just trent haha

[trollmanen]

The Elsewhere Society volume is definitely one of my favorite things he's done, I'm enjoying this more than the recent Ghosts releases.

[frl]

I'm so glad they were able to create a double album release for this soundtrack. Listening to the track Elsewhere feels like getting a warm hug. I just want to stay in the embrace of the soundscapes and melodies.

[richardp]

Not really related to the music, but I finally got to the finale of this show tonight and it was a really beautiful way to end the show. Everything about this show, especially the soundtrack, really knocked it out of the park.

Ive sent them a few DMs asking about the Patriots Day vinyl over the last couple of years -- at first they would respond with "We don't have any updates but we hope to release it soon"

They finally sent me a response the last time I asked saying "Ha!" that was it.

[Prettybrokenspiral]

lol sounds like Lakeshore..

Any time they release something I want, I go out of my way to buy it second-hand so that way they aren't getting the money. Can't respect myself supporting a vanity label that can't get its shit together..

[eversonpoe]

just finished the show! i loved it. sarah loved it until the last episode, which i understand, but i still think it was an interesting way to end it.

also, it was just...it was so nice to have a story with a trans woman whose trans-ness wasn't the entirety of her character. needless to say, i really related to her.

hope the score gets pressed on vinyl, there's some amazing music in there.

[paul_is_dead]

Just started listening to this, Occasionally Scared is stunning. That piano.

Wow. Maybe it's tied up by someone on the film companies side?

[simonn]

Just gave this a listen - all good stuff as always. Thanks for the heads up.

This is getting a vinyl release at the end of the month. Can only find UK stores that have it for pre-order. It's being put out by Invada, but not on their site yet.

https://www.resident-music.com/collection&path=34756I wish they'd gone bigger with this; this show's physical score should have a ton of weird shit to match the vibe of the show, or at least blue and orange vinyl...

[Wulgaren]

why cant i get into atticus' soundtracks lol
they seem to lack something compared to the ones with trent and im just questioning if i am just biased or does trent really creates the perfect music for me

I'm not usually that big of a fan of his stuff without TR, but I've been listening to these a lot over the past few months.

Invada in the UK now have these up for ordering.

What are the chances this gets a US release soon? I'm happy to drop the money to ship it here, but I'll wait if there's a chance I can get it for like $30 less by waiting for a US release.

[Wulgaren]

okay after few listens this score is amazing!! the first disk has some really interesting and banging tracks and the second one is full of emotions

[Serene Nymph]

There was this exhibit by Chul Hyun Ahn I visited. The artist makes infinite light installations. I had Dispatches from Elsewhere playing through my headphones while gazing into bottomless voids decorated with these orbs and ribbons of light that went on forever! I still sigh thinking about it. This score is breathtaking. I highly recommend listening to music by them at art museums (as long as its plugged into earbuds or head phones).

I should probably start a thread on secret societies and/or alternate reality games. Considering how epic YZ is with the ARG combined, and now Dispatches, I'm surprised there isn't a thread for it (unless there is?).

I mean how awesome would it be to be a part of one of those games? Or create one? Hopefully the feeling's mutual.

[Zimbo]

SUPER late to this score but deary-me, this is incredible! At least so far into the "Jejune Institute" one.

Very, VERY, Cristobal Tapia de Veer

[Prettybrokenspiral]

Invada -- the Lakeshore Records it's okay to support -- did a really nice job on the vinyl pressing of this. Simplistic yet tasteful presentation and dead quiet sound. I'm a fan of everything Atticus and Leopold have done score-wise, but this one might rival The Book of Eli or Earthquake Bird as my favorite one yet. I found the show to be pretty meh, but the score work here is top-shelf..
