For such an unconventional western, Desplat found musical inspiration in jazz and blues and experimentalist John Cage. He avoided all brass and emphasized prepared piano, timpani drums, a pair of cimbaloms for bass, and electric violin (played by his wife and concert master, Dominique Lemonnier).

I am listening very curious and fascinated to a cue like “Two brothers, two friends” which is oddly satisfying on its own as well as it represents a strange take on the Western / Americana genre.
