'The Hurt Locker' Score Finally Arrives In Stores Tomorrow, Available On iTunes Now

It took a little while but Marco Beltrami and Buck Sanders’ underrated and understated score for “The Hurt Locker” is finally seeing the light of day in a proper release, having hit iTunes digitally last week on January 12th, and with physical copies finding store shelves tomorrow, January 19th via Lakeshore Records.

Beltrami and Sanders’ score wasn’t the flashiest or most bombastic of the year, but it was definitely one of the most effective. Seamlessly blending with Kathryn Bigelow’s carefully crafted sound design, the score was effective at setting our pulses racing even if it didn’t assault our ear drums. While it’s a longshot it’ll get recognized come Oscar time, we do hope fans of the film will give it a spin as it’s definitely deserving of a listen.
