Today, Lord Huron and Ben Schneider present Music for The Starling Girl, the Original Soundtrack accompanying the acclaimed film The Starling Girl. The album consists of both the movie’s original score by Lord Huron vocalist/songwriter Ben Schneider and the new Lord Huron song “Ace Up My Sleeve.” Meanwhile, The Starling Girl is now available to stream on VOD.
“Ace Up My Sleeve” has already collected over 1 million Spotify streams and counting. Beyond plugs from Stereogum and Under The Radar Magazine, Brooklyn Vegan hailed the song as “lovely, tender alt-country.”
Check out the full tracklisting below.
“Ace Up My Sleeve” channels the echoes of classic country through a modern, alternative prism. Slide guitar wails over breezy strumming as Schneider lets off a hummable melody on the hook, “I can’t lose. There’s an ace up my sleeve.” It instantly captivates and seamlessly fits The Starling Girl. This marks the first time Schneider has composed the score of a major motion picture.
Speaking on “Ace Up My Sleeve” and its involvement in The Starling Girl, lead singer Ben Schneider said: “Being asked to compose a song that actually plays a role in the story is a dream come true for a songwriter. To have the song function in service of the narrative of such a beautiful film in that way is really special.”
The Starling Girl was written and directed by Laurel Parmet and stars Eliza Scanlen, Lewis Pullman, Wrenn Schmidt, Austin Abrams, and Jimmi Simpson.
Following a packed North American headline tour, Lord Huron grace the bills of several festivals throughout the summer, and headline slots at Outlandia and Wildlands festivals. The band will also headline one night of the Avett Brothers' annual Avetts At The Beach Festival in Mexico in April 2024.
