ROAD TRAIN was awarded the Best Soundtrack Album of 2011 at the Screen Music Awards. The film, which was theatrically released in 2009 starred Sophie Lowe and Xavier Samuel and Rafael May’s score has been described as “a tremendous score….with atonal screeches, chunky seventies riffing and some very well chosen songs.” A collaboration with Sophie Lowe, ‘A RUNNER’ was a finalist in the 2010 Screen Music Awards for best song for the screen. Accepting the award, Rafael honored the collaboration with director Dean Francis (also a featured vocalist on the soundtrack) and told of removing his garden gate to use as an instrument to create the distinctive sound-scapes featured on the album.

The awards, honor excellence in screen composition were hosted by Noni Hazlehurst and held at the City Recital Hall in Sydney. Previous winners for Best Soundtrack Album have included MAO’S LAST DANCER and DEATH DEFYING ACTS.

The ROAD TRAIN Original Soundtrack is available from iTunes.

Rafael May’s searing soundtrack for ROAD TRAIN is now available at iTunes and CD Baby.

The album features full versions of songs from the film, including Sophie Lowe’s gorgeously haunting self-penned A RUNNER and KISS YOU TILL YOU DIE featuring director Dean Francis’ vocals. All musical movements from the film are featured, combining monster rock with creepy electronica and grating organic tones.
