Jonny Greenwood has once again provided the score for a Paul Thomas Anderson film after scoring both There Will be Blood and The Master previously and details on his Inherent Vice score as well as the songs featured on the film’s soundtrack have been made available via Film Music Reporter along with a new banner for the film as seen above and a new picture featuring stars Joaquin Phoenix and Katherine Waterston.
The soundtrack will be made available on December 15 (preorder here), three days after the film’s limited release on December 12 and it features nine new tracks from Greenwood along with tracks from Can, The Marketts, Radiohead, Minnie Riperton, KYU Sakamoto, Neil Young, Les Baxter and Chuck Jackson. I have gone ahead and created a Spotify playlist featuring the tracks available right now, which means everything other than the new Greenwood composed pieces and the track from The Marketts.

Now here’s that new pic featuring Phoenix and Waterston, a promo trailer for an upcoming screening of the film in the UK at the Prince Charles Cinema on Wednesday at 7 and 10:15 PM along with the film’s synopsis.
Inherent Vice is the seventh feature from Paul Thomas Anderson and the first film adaption of a Thomas Pynchon novel. When P.I. Doc Sportello’s ex-old lady shows up with a story about her current billionaire land developer boyfriend and a plot by his wife and her boyfriend to kidnap that billionaire and throw him in a looney bin… well, easy for her to say. It’s the tail end of the `60s, paranoia is running the day and Doc knows that “love” is one of those words going around, like “trip” or “groovy,” that’s way too overused-except this one usually leads to trouble. With a cast of characters that includes surfers, hustlers, dopers and rockers, a murderous loan shark, LAPD Detectives, a tenor sax player working undercover and a mysterious entity known as the Golden Fang, which may only be a tax dodge set up by some dentists… Part surf noir, part psychedelic romp-all Thomas Pynchon.
