Following Academy Award nominations for Carol (2015) and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017), composer Carter Burwell picked up his third nomination for The Banshees of Inisherin (2022), a film by Three Billboards writer/director Martin McDonaugh. Conceived as a dark fairy tale in the fashion of the Brothers Grimm, The Banshees of Inisherin's score was built with a spare palette featuring instruments like the harp, bass flute, glockenspiel, celesta, and marimba featured on the traipsing motif associated with main character Padraic (played by Colin Farrell), said by Burwell to reflect his "man-child" qualities. This can be heard on tracks like "Padraic Wakes - Driving into the Rain" and "Padraic Keeps Quiet" as well the more off-kilter, carnivalesque "Padraic and Jenny" (Jenny being his donkey). While instrumentation is light and most of the tracks serve as short, transitional musical interludes, melodies are quite melancholy and sometimes outright ominous, with harmonic structures consistent in suggesting that something is not quite right. Although the score is nothing if not efficient, relatively lusher moments here include "The Island Comes to Church," which includes a string ensemble. While barren and monotone, the rumbling bassline of the later-arriving "Dark Padraic" is effectively disturbing in its timbral contrast to the rest. Consisting of 33 minutes of original music, Burwell's score recording doesn't include fiddle pieces by Padraic's scourge, Colm (portrayed by Brendan Gleeson), which were provided by Gleeson.
