Andrew Scott and Ian McGettigan recently sequestered themselves in Sloan's studio space to write the original music to accompany Michael Melski's latest feature Growing Op. Sloan also contributed a song to the soundtrack. Check local listings for theatrical showings, and DVD release dates.
Asked about the soundtrack and the score, Melski said "We have some of the best artists in the country who’ve contributed, including Matt Mays and El Torpedo, Joel Plaskett Emergency, Classfied, Jill Barber, Amelia Curran, Nathan Wiley; it’s an incredible list and they’re all Canadian...And the original score is by Andrew Scott, drummer for the world-renowned rock group Sloan. It’s his first time scoring a picture, and he did an incredible job, along with Ian McGettigan, of really complementing the songs we’d already chosen with really sensitive instrumental pieces that are so appropriate for the movie."
