Mica Levi – Under The Skin (LP, Album, Reissue, Vinyl)

Under the Skin (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the soundtrack album to the 2014 film of the same name. Released digitally on 28 March 2014 by Rough Trade Records, the soundtrack was composed by Mica Levi and produced by Peter Raeburn. The score consists of dark ambient music, primarily written and recorded over a span of 10 months, with the pitch of the score being altered at several intervals for "listeners to make them feel uncomfortable". While the score consisted of viola, several instruments such as strings and percussions were accompanied in the cues. The album was physically released in CDs on 18 April 2014, and a vinyl edition was released on 10 October by Warner Records and Milan Records, which re-issued the album twice: the first re-issue was released on 12 June 2020 by Mondo and a second re-issue is scheduled for release on 8 July 2022 by Juno Records.

The score opened to critical acclaim praising Levi's minimalistic approach and compositions, and was raved by several contemporary musicians and artists. Been cited as "one of the best film scores", it received accolades at various ceremonies, including a nomination for BAFTA Award for Best Original Music, but could not get shortlisted for 87th Academy Awards. Despite this, the score won several awards at critics associations.
