Whatever you think about the movie or Brad Pitt, the music is ACE. No wonder because it was made by Nick Cave.

Nick Cave’s a ridiculously consistent songwriter, but there’s one gift he possesses that eludes even his most prolific and talented peers: An incomparable sense of discipline. Factor in work with the Bad Seeds, solo albums, Grinderman, novels, scores, collaborations, and 2005′s The Proposition– the brutal, fly-specked Australian western that Cave wrote and (with the help of Warren Ellis) also scored– and the man appears a veritable cottage industry.

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (directed by Cave’s fellow Aussie indie iconoclast Andrew Dominik and beautifully lit and shot by cinematographer Roger Deakins) is, like The Proposition, an eccentric western. But unlike most eccentric westerns, in Jesse James the dread is balanced by a hypnotic, elegiac quality, and the plot’s inevitability (see: the title) is tempered by Brad Pitt’s and Casey Affleck’s haunting and enigmatic performances (the latter has earned an Oscar nod and a ton of critics prizes for his turn as a would-be stalker, as did Deakins for his lensing).
