Lakeshore Records release the original soundtrack to Lady Bird, which features an original score by Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter/composer Jon Brion. The film centres on Christine “Lady Bird” McPherson, who fights against but is exactly like her wildly loving, deeply opinionated and strong-willed mum, a nurse working tirelessly to keep her family afloat after Lady Bird's father loses his job. Set in Sacramento, California in 2002, amidst a rapidly shifting American economic landscape, Lady Bird is an affecting look at the relationships that shape us, the beliefs that define us, and the unmatched beauty of a place called home...

The score for Lady Bird is a short but sweet affair (23 tracks - 27 min, 14 sec). It's an upbeat, quirky collection of themes that will have you grinning from ear to ear by its conclusion.

It's a simple. and fun album which sees composer Jon Brion really creating another character for the film. In fact, of late, I think this is the most character driven soundtrack I've heard in a long while.

I really did enjoy this fun, quirky score - and while it might not be everyone's cup of tea, those that get what Brion was trying to achieve will draw a lot of pleasure from this sweet score.
