Emile Mosseri came to film composing by way of indie rock, as the former singer and bassist for New York band The Dig, and ascended rapidly with an Oscar-nominated score for 2020 film Minari. Considering his pedigree, it's hardly surprising that some of his writing taps into his indie-rock background, whether enlisting Angel Olsen to channel the spirit of Roy Orbison on "Mr. Lonely" from the score to Kajillionaire or bringing a narcotic post-Mazzy Star vibe to Minari's "Rain Song." He also demonstrates equal ease with more conventional orchestral themes, privileging simplicity over Hollywood excess.
