Annihilation—Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, featuring a score by Ben Salisbury and Geoff Barrow.

From visionary writer and director Alex Garland and based on the acclaimed best-selling Southern Reach Trilogy by Jeff VanderMeer, Annihilation stars Natalie Portman, Oscar Isaac, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Tessa Thompson, Gina Rodriguez and Tuva Novotny. Portman plays Lena, a biologist and former soldier, that joins a mission to uncover what happened to her husband inside Area X - a sinister and mysterious phenomenon that is expanding across the American coastline. Once inside, the expedition discovers a world of mutated landscape and creatures, as dangerous as it is beautiful, that threatens both their lives and their sanity.

Garland remarks that Salisbury and Barrow’s partnership “Sets an incredibly high bar of creative skill and integrity, with music that is brilliant, unique and truly cinematic.”

Salisbury and Barrow note: “After our experience on Ex Machina, we obviously jumped at the chance to work on a new Alex Garland film, and it was very exciting, as right from the outset we could see that we were going to have to use a wider musical pallet than we did on Ex Machina, and operate on a bigger and broader scale.”
