Background

In June 2022, it was announced that Daniel Pemberton would compose the film score for See How They Run. [1] In an interaction with Edith Bowman, Pemberton said that he used vintage banjos, unconventional drum textures and old pianos used by Mrs Mills, to represent the whodunit types of sounds from 1950s. The score was recorded at the Abbey Road Studios in London and performed by the London Chamber Orchestra. [2]

Release

The score was released through Hollywood Records on 16 September, 2022. [3]

Reception

David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter wrote the score "swerves between jauntiness and intrigue". [4] Amy Nicholson of Variety wrote "composer Daniel Pemberton unleashes a jazzy upright bass to climb up and down the scales". [5] Tim Grierson of Screen International wrote "Daniel Pemberton’s jaunty score only further establishing the knowing unreality of the proceedings." [6] Chris Connor of Flickering Myth wrote "Daniel Pemberton’s jazz infused score helps drive the action". [7]

Patrick Cremona of Radio Times called it a "lively" score, [8] while Kevin Maher of The Times wrote "The soundtrack from Daniel Pemberton is, for instance, conspicuously 'jazzy' and clatters and hoots away relentlessly as if to remind us, 'Fun! This is fun! Listen to the music! It’s fun!'" [9] Gissane Sophia of Lady Geeks Media wrote "Pemberton closes the case shut with the See How They Run soundtrack, and if you’re also fond of listening to such genre scores in the autumn, now’s the best time to do so." [10]
