With the movie premiering on October 7, Collider is excited to exclusively share a new track off the upcoming album, titled “Aelis Arrives.”


Catherine Called Birdy follows the titular Catherine (Ramsey) as she comes of age in 1290 England and rapidly realizes that she is her parents lone bargaining chip when it comes to improving their financial standing, which they can do by marrying her off.

COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY

In composing the soundtrack, Burwell enlisted the Grammy-winning ensemble Roomful Of Teeth to provide the vocal performances in the film’s haunting score. According to Burwell, the choice for a vocal score stemmed from a desire to “both to avoid the question of using medieval instruments and to put us directly inside Birdy’s head,” adding that Roomful Of Teeth make the music “idiosyncratic and beautiful.” Additionally, the album features 7 cover songs “reinterpreted in the Medieval tradition” and performed by singer-songwriter Misty Miller. The lead single, a cover of “Alright” by Supergrass and performed by Miller was released on September 23.

The track, must like Aelis and Catherine’s friendship in the film is equal parts wild and exciting. The performance from Roomful of Teeth alternates between more boppy moments reminiscent of adventure and a joyful cry of youth. As far as a soundtrack goes, it is unconventional to say the least, but certainly captures the ambiance and the energy of Ramsey and Hainsworth’s performances.

Of “Aelis Arrives,” Burwell said:

“A few weeks before recording the score to CATHERINE CALLED BIRDY, I rehearsed some of the themes with Roomful of Teeth. One of them, the Hemiola Theme, has a swinging polyrhythm that made us laugh and dance while practicing. This developed into the track ‘Aelis Arrives,’ which I love both for the tune itself and also for the memory of that rehearsal.”

Catherine Called Birdy also stars Andrew Scott, Billie Piper, Joe Alwyn, Dean-Charles Chapman and Archie Renaux. The film hits Prime Video on October 7. The soundtrack will also be released by Milan Records on that day. In the meantime, you can check out “Aelis Arrives” and the synopsis for the film below:

Financially destitute and utterly greedy, Rollo sees his daughter as his path out of financial ruin by marrying her off to a wealthy man for money and land. But Birdy, like all the great teen heroines, is spirited, clever and adventurous –and ready to put off any suitor that comes in increasingly ingenious ways. Her imagination, defiance and deep belief in her own right to independence put her on a collision course with her parents.
