Burial has composed the score for Harmony Korine’s new movie Baby Invasion, which is set to premiere at Venice Film Festival this summer.
Baby Invasion isn’t Burial’s first time doing a film score. He also composed the score for Andrea Arnold’s Bird starring Barry Keoghan, which debuted at Cannes Film Festival in May.
Billed as a surreal home invasion thriller, Korine’s new movie comes from his EDGLRD company. It was filmed as a first-person shooter and used AI to swap intruders’ faces with those of babies.
“We’ll create these almost like freakish cartoon filters that these invaders will have, that they’ll wear throughout, but then you could also possibly change them as you go,” the filmmaker previously told Variety.
The official description reads: “Baby Invasion is a new ultra-realistic, multiplayer FPS game following a group of mercenaries using baby faces as avatars to conceal their identity. Tasked with entering mansions of the rich and powerful and leaving nothing behind, players must explore every rabbit hole before time runs out.”
Earlier this year, Burial released the double single “Dreamfear / Boy Sent from Above” before teaming up with Kode9 for the split single “Phoneglow” / “Eyes Go Blank.”
Korine’s last movie, Aggro Dr1ft, premiered at Venice last September. It hasn’t yet been formally released in theaters.
