PRODUCT DETAILS
Impressed SoundTracks, in collaboration with Rubber Records, is proud to present the soundtrack of The Surfer, a 2024 psychological thriller directed by Lorcan Finnegan and starring Nicolas Cage that premiered at the 77th Cannes Film Festival.The film's original score is composed by François Tétaz, an Australian film composer known for his work on films such as Elvis (2022), Wolf Creek (2005), and Judy & Punch (2019).""... François Tétaz's terrific score carries strains of Morricone in it's mythic propulsion."" Paste MagazineThe film centers on a man who returns to his Australian hometown after spending years in the U.S. When a group of local surfers humiliates him in front of his teenage son, and a group of local surfers who claim ownership of the secluded beach from his childhood, he is pushed to the brink of his sanity.The score was written as The Surfer's inner dialogue; his childhood in Australia through his father's record collection and some misremembered TV themes he grew up with. Australian shows like In the Wild with Harry Butler, Skippy and the New Wave soundtracks for Wake in Fright, The Last Wave and John Sangster's Paradise Vol 1 for the Queensland tourism commission - Australian Exotica.The soundtrack captures the protagonist's nostalgia for his childhood beach, his underlying melancholy, and the unique atmosphere of the place itself. The hypnotic turquoise waves, the dry bush, the essence of Australia, and the peculiar tone of the story were all reflected in the music. A soundtrack beautiful crafted to be enjoyed independently of the movie.Scoring The Surfer was a gift and a challenge. Nicolas Cage gave such a big performance, the instrumentation grew larger and stranger - the tonal colors kept expanding. I somehow ended up adding ludicrous amounts of wind chimes, mark tree and bell tree. Usually, a cliched instrument choice for wonder and magic, here they are intended to be so insistent they become taunting and maddening. - François Tétaz (film composer)The main theme becomes twisted and distorted. In 'Clams Casino' the score becomes the Surfer's state of mind as he loses his mind. It's a journey of The Surfer losing his mind and finding a way to move on.The 'outsider's view' was very interesting to me, to make a film that feels like the subjective experience of a man trying to come to terms with himself. The Surfer is a man who grew up in Australia, but after a childhood tragedy moved to California, before eventually returning to Australia. As an Irish director collaborating with American actor Nicolas Cage and Polish cinematographer Radek Ladczuk, we found an interesting way into this story, as outsiders. We set out to make a film that feels like a strange dream, exploring identity, repressed memory, masculinity, rebirth and belonging - Lorcan Finnegan (director)

By far, my favorite shop to buy from! Always quick with the delivery! Love tyler the creator and I've been searching for this specific vinyl at a good price!
package shipped well. there was a fragile sticker on the box which was nice, most places don’t put that and vinyls get damaged. package arrived in perfect condition.
Good packaging, product was in good condition and showed up on time great album no problems with any of the vinyls either very happy with it.
I am a huge Bob's Burger Fan and found this album as I was browsing the website. I had to get it immediately. I can believe I came across this on a random Tuesday. Can't thank coming across pale blue records enough. And the delivery is super fast. Can't wait for my next purchase.
Super fast shipping, packing done well. Exactly as described. The customer service and product choice is why I keep coming back.
Perfectly packaged, no warping, clear sound. Will definitely purchase from Pale Blue Dot Records again.

Would definitely buy from Pale Dot Records again. The delivery was fast and the records sounds great!
Purchased as a Christmas gift for my 29 year old son. Can't wait for him to open. Packaged with care and timely shipping. Positive experience!
Vinyls arrived in perfect condition, expertly packed, and 3 days from the date of purchase (over the Thanksgiving holiday, no less). Could not be more pleased. Thanks so much!
We received our vinyl fast, it was fairly price, and they had a great selection to choose from. One record we purchased had an issue on the track, and the owner was quick to resolve the issue for us. I’ll be purchasing all of our records from this store moving forward!
The records and the sleeve are really nice. Pacific Dot Records blew me away with shipping it out like, immediately after I ordered it. Arrived well protected and perfect. No complaints.
fast shipping, great communication, and awesome staff. very responsive with messages too. can’t wait to purchase from them again
Records arrived inside the special record boxes, unopened, and in pristine condition. They didn't very long to begin the shipping either. Some places make you wait 3-5 days just to have it shipped out. They did not.
This is not about the product. I've ordered from PBD before and the Vinyls that come from them are wonderful and pressed really well!
This review is more on customer service.
USPS seemed to have goofed around a bit and cause a delay of about 1.5 weeks. Tristan was a highly communicative person and was reassuring with the options I had regarding if my order never arrived. Good sense of humor, accountability, and customer satisfaction. The Sweetwater of vinyl shops. Officially my vinyl go to!
