July 3, 2024

ComingSoon is pleased to present an exclusive track from the Firebrand soundtrack by Tindersticks co-founder Dickon Hinchliffe. Listen to the “We Have to Leave” track below.

Having helped forge the highly esteemed British band’s musical identity with his expertise on violin, orchestral arrangements, and songwriting, Firebrand is a natural showcase for Hinchliffe’s dynamically emotive orchestrations and sublime string-led musical shadings that augment the vivid retelling of the life of Katherine, the sixth wife of King Henry VIII. Lakeshore Records will release the album digitally on July 5.

The Roadside Attractions film, which is directed by Karim Ainouz and starring Alicia Vikander and Jude Law, is in theaters now.

Check out the track “We Have to Leave” from the Firebrand soundtrack below:

“In blood-soaked Tudor England, twice married, accomplished, and educated Katherine Parr (Vikander), reluctantly agrees to become the sixth wife of the tyrannical King Henry VIII (Law). Her consent to marry him carries great personal risk, given that her predecessors are either vanquished, beheaded, or dead. When Henry appoints her as Regent, the nation’s ruler during his absence when he departs to fight overseas, he lays a dangerous path for her. Henry’s courtiers, suspecting she’s sympathetic to radical Protestant beliefs that have taken root in the kingdom and are a threat to their power, scheme against her and cast doubts upon her fidelity to the increasingly ailing and paranoid King. Once Henry returns to England, his courtiers convince him to turn his fury on the nation’s radicals, including Katherine’s childhood friend Anne Askew, who becomes one of the scores of people convicted of treason and burned at the stake. Horrified and privately grieving, Katherine finds herself under ever-increasing scrutiny and suspicion. Knowing that even a whisper of scandal might lead to her downfall, Katherine must unleash her own scheme to fight for survival,” reads the synopsis.

The album is now available for pre-save.
