The score received critical acclaim and was even nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Score.

Arcade Fire

Arcade Fire is known for its eclectic sound, which spans indie rock, art rock, and baroque pop. The band was formed in 2001 in Montreal by Win Butler and his wife, Régine Chassagne, and they have become one of the most influential bands of their generation. They are recognized for their multi-instrumental performances and highly emotional, thematic albums such as Funeral and The Suburbs.

Owen Pallett

Owen Pallett, a classically trained violinist and composer, has had a rich career both as a solo artist and a collaborator with bands like Arcade Fire. Performing under the moniker "Final Fantasy" early in his career, Pallett later used his own name and has contributed string arrangements for many Arcade Fire albums. He is also known for his solo work and his unique looping performances during live shows. Pallett's work spans classical, pop, and film music, and he has collaborated with artists such as Frank Ocean and The Mountain Goats.
