Idles New Song “Darren Aronofsky Caught Stealing” Released
IDLES Unleash “Rabbit Run” for Darren Aronofsky’s Crime Caper “Caught Stealing”
British post-punk titans IDLES have dropped a brand new track, “Rabbit Run,” a powerful addition to the soundtrack of Darren Aronofsky’s upcoming crime caper, caught Stealing. This isn’t just a single song; it’s part of a four-track contribution from the band, injecting their signature raw energy into the film’s narrative.
A Punk-Infused Soundtrack for a Gritty Tale
Rob Simonsen, the composer for Caught Stealing, crafted the film’s score, and IDLES have brought it to life in the studio. The result is a dynamic fusion of cinematic scoring and visceral rock, with both Simonsen’s score and IDLES’ original songs set to feature on the official soundtrack. Mark your calendars: the soundtrack arrives on August 29th, the same day the film hits screens.
Darren Aronofsky himself handpicked IDLES for this project,aiming to capture the authentic spirit of the 1990s New York punk scene that permeates caught Stealing. “I built Caught Stealing to be a roller coaster of fun and wanted to supercharge the film by main lining a punk sensibility,” Aronofsky shared in a press statement. He further elaborated on the unique collaboration, stating, ”I don’t think a band has really been tasked with performing a score for a movie. Who better to collaborate with than IDLES? It has been a dream watching them bend their notes to blast a hole in our movie screen.”
Diving into the World of “Caught Stealing”
Based on Charlie Huston’s novel of the same name, Caught Stealing boasts an impressive cast, including Austin Butler, Zoë Kravitz, and Bad Bunny. The film centers on Hank Thompson,a former high school baseball star whose life takes a sharp turn into organized crime when a punk rock neighbor enlists him to cat-sit. The soundtrack, and particularly IDLES’ contribution, promises to be a vital element in immersing audiences in this gritty, high-octane world.
