MovieScore Media releases Rob Simonsen’s music for the taboo-breaking documentary The Final Member by Jonah Bekhor and Zach Math. The filmmakers guide you to Husavik, Iceland, home of the world’s only museum devoted to painstakingly preserved male genitalia. Founded and curated by Sigurður Hjartarson, the Icelandic Phallological Museum houses four decades worth of mammalian members, from a petite field mouse to the colossal sperm whale, and every “thing” in between.

Rob Simonsen's score for The Final Member represents an interesting collection of themes. The album contains 15 tracks (34 min), most of which have sweet, beautiful melodies at their core.

It would have been so easy for Simonsen to have taken the lazy, easy route, but what we have here is an album of intricate and emotional themes that will stay with you for some time to come.
