IDLES Contribute Four Songs to Darren Aronofsky’s Upcoming Film Soundtrack

English post-punk band IDLES has collaborated with filmmaker Darren Aronofsky to create the soundtrack for his upcoming crime comedy Caught Stealing, contributing four original songs and performing the score composed by Rob Simonsen. The band’s new single “Rabbit Run” captures the gritty, punk energy inspired by the 1990s New York punk scene that permeates the film. Aronofsky described the film as a “roller coaster of fun” and praised IDLES for bringing a punk sensibility that supercharges the movie, calling them his favorite band and highlighting the unique collaboration of having a band perform a movie score. Frontman Joe Talbot reflected on the opportunity as a dream come true, crediting Aronofsky’s films as influential to his artistic development. The film stars Austin Butler, Zoë Kravitz, Bad Bunny, and others, following a former high school baseball star who gets entangled in organized crime when asked to watch his punk rock neighbor’s cat. The soundtrack and film are set to be released on August 29.
