This 2020 film has already become an indie
classic, and it's taken on a timeliness that its
creators could not have foreseen. Teenage
Autumn has to flee her rural Pennsylvania
town in seach of an abortion, leaving behind
her abusive partner, her indifferent parents
(singer Sharon Van Etten plays her mother),
and her callous community as she embarks
on a journey to New York City accompanied
by her cousin Skylar. No matter your stance
on the subject, Autumn's harrowing odyssey
provokes compassion and contemplation, two
states of mind in short supply these days. And
accompanying Autumn every step of the way
on her journey is the mesmerizing and, at times,
achingly sad score by cult favorite composer
Julia Holter. So much of the film is made up
of shots of Autumn's face as she attempts to
process what is happening to her and around
her; seldom has a film score captured a character's interior monologue with
such insight and grace. Never before released in any physical format, we at Real
Gone Music are proud to present the soundtrack to Never Rarely Sometimes
Always on vinyl, with the full consent and cooperation of Julia Holter.
