Scott Walker follows his remarkable collaboration with Sunn O))) with his first score work since the Pola X soundtrack in 1999 - this riveting soundtrack to Brady Corbet’s directorial debut.

Partly inspired by Jean-Paul Sartre’s short story of the same name, The Childhood Of A Leader is a tense psychological drama tracing the formative years of a young boy and set against the backdrop of the 1919 Paris Peace Conference that led to the establishment of the Treaty of Versailles.

On the soundtrack, Walker continues to work with long-term collaborators Peter Walsh (co-producer) and Mark Warman (musical director), with the latter conducting an orchestra comprised of 46 string players and 16 brass for the studio recording.
