Available everywhere now, the album features score music written by Hynes for director Gia Coppola's newest film following a couple as they navigate viral fame. The album is the latest scoring effort from Hynes, following his critically-acclaimed score for director Luca Guadagnino's HBO original series We Are Who We Are. The project also continues a longstanding creative partnership for Hynes and Coppola, the duo most notably having worked together on Coppola's directorial debut Palo Alto. Starring Maya Hawke and Andrew Garfield, Mainstream debuts in theaters Friday, May 7 from IFC Films.
"I love everything Dev makes," says director GIA COPPOLA of the film's score. "For Mainstream, I felt he really tapped into the many emotions you weave through when trying to coexist in this new digital world, yet still keeping it classic."
In addition to the film's score album, Milan Records also releases "This Is Mainstream" as a stand-alone single today – listen here. Written and produced by composer, producer and songwriter Eldad Guetta and featuring vocals by singer and composer Fiora, the energetic EDM track features prominently in the film, soundtracking a choreographed dance number by Mainstream lead actor Andrew Garfield.
