The Girl in The Spider's Web

Roque Banos is reuniting with director Fede Alvarez on the upcoming thriller The Girl in the Spider’s Web. The film stars Claire Foy, alongside Sverrir Gudnason, Sylvia Hoeks, Claes Bang, Lakeith Stanfield, Vicky Krieps, Synnove Macody Lund and Stephen Merchant. The movie is the sequel to David Fincher’s 2011 feature The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (scored by Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross) and follows Lisbeth Salander and journalist Mikael Blomkvist as they find themselves caught in a web of spies, cyber criminals and corrupt government officials. Steven Knight (Dirty Pretty Things, Eastern Promises, Locke) wrote the screenplay with Alvarez & Jay Fasu based on David Lagercrantz’s bestseller. Scott Rudin (The Social Network, No Country for Old Men), Amy Pascal (The Post, Spider-Man: Homecoming) and Elizabeth Cantillon (Concussion) are producing the project. Banos has previously scored Alvarez’s first two features, Don’t Breathe and Evil Dead. The Girl in the Spider’s Web is set to be released on November 9, 2018 by Sony Pictures.

The new Soft Fangs album opens with a hollow acoustic guitar, playing a despondent riff in isolation. It sounds as if it could have been recorded from the other side of the room, from a dusty tape recorder. The tone is hot and cold at once, flitting between scratchy strums and warm finger plucks. Then the rest of the band joins. Thrashing waves of drums, fuzzed-out guitars and touches of piano all circle that guitar riff.
