Arrival [2 LP]

Directed by Denis Villeneuve, Arrival stars Amy Adams as Louise Banks, an expert linguist hired by the government to communicate with alien intelligence after a fleet of spacecraft ominously appears at sites around the globe. Following his Oscar-nominated score for Villeneuve's Sicario, J¢hann J¢hannsson composed and produced this unique sci-fi film's soundtrack, praised by TIME Magazine for being "so integral to the images that it may as well be their heartbeat."
