Dev Hynes is returning once again to the film world, with the forthcoming score for Olivia Wilde’s new A24 movie The Invite.Hynes has also shared a song from the soundtrack, “Contentious Environment.” Give it a listen below.A remake of the 2020 Spanish comedy The People Upstairs, The Invite follows couple-on-the-rocks Joe (Seth Rogen) and Angela (Wilde), who find their boundaries and dynamics of their relationship called into question after inviting their neighbors Pína (Penelope Cruz) and Hawk (Edward Norton) over for dinner.
It’s Wilde’s first time back in the director’s chair since 2022’s Harry Styles-starring Don’t Worry Darling.A quirk in Hynes’ discography is that he’s actually released more film scores than Blood Orange albums.He’s also behind the music from Paul Schrader’s 2022 thriller Master Gardener, Rebecca Hall’s 2021 historical drama Passing, Melina Matsoukas’ 2019 film Queen & Slim, and two Gia Coppola projects: 2013’s Palo Alto and 2020’s Mainstream.Revisit Stephen Kearse’s review of Hynes’ most recent Blood Orange album, Essex Honey.The Invite:01 Through The Window02 Contentious Environment03 Suite For Cello I04 We're Doing This05 Hawk In Bathroom06 They're On Their Way07 Flan08 Sex Parties09 Arguments10 Explain Yourself+Our Neighbors11 Palladio I.
