Carter Burwell's Burn After Reading
2-Oct-2008 - Lakeshore Records has released the score for the Coen Brothers’ latest film, Burn After Reading. At the headquarters of the CIA, analyst Osbourne Cox arrives for a top-secret meeting – where he learns he is being ousted.  He returns to his home to work on his memoirs and to drink, not necessarily in that order.  His wife Katie is dismayed but not surprised; she is already into an illicit affair with Harry Pfarrer, a married federal marshal and sets about making plans to leave Cox for Harry. A computer disc containing material for the CIA analyst’s memoirs accidentally falls into the hands of Hardbodies Fitness Center Employees Linda and Chad leading to a cascading series of darkly hilarious events.Longtime composer for the Coens, Carter Burwell (Gods and Monsters, In Bruges), composed the original music.
The score is available from Amazon.com and via iTunes.
