FEATURED: Johnny Greenwood x There Will Be Blood

Over the weekend we went down to our local multiplex to check out the new Paul Thomas Anderson movie, There Will Be Blood . The film was on top of our must-see list for two reasons: 1) We love Paul Thomas Anderson and 2) Johnny Greenwood of Radiohead (whose credibility has been restored with their great new album In Rainbows) scored the entire thing. Not every day do you see a movie in which the score (and not just chosen songs) plays such a huge part in the story and overall aesthetic. Greenwood used swells of electric guitars and strings to create the brooding undertone of the film, which made it all the more enjoyable. The Swill Merchant felt the same and wrote a piece on Greenwood and There Will Be Blood today.
