Marco Beltrami and Buck Sanders’ score to the zom-rom-com Warm Bodies faced a tall order: their music had to balance genuinely scary moments, romantic moments, bits of comic relief, and convey the quiet despair of a post-apocalyptic world. The duo delivers on all counts: highlights include the quirky, wittily named “Music for Airports,” the strangely poignant “Zombie Bros,” tense cues such as “Run for It,” and hopeful tracks like “I Wanna Hold Your Hand.” Elsewhere, “Admission to Dream” and “Looking for Julie/Balcony Serenade” add more depth and atmosphere to the proceedings . Marco Beltrami and Buck Sanders have collaborated in creating numerous soundtracks, including that of The Hurt Locker, for which they received an Oscar nomination for the best soundtrack in 2010.
