Film Music Reporter posted that Scott Walker’s soundtrack to The Childhood of a Leader was available for preorder on Amazon with an anticipated release date of 19 August 2016. For some reason they’ve linked the US Amazon site, but that page doesn’t exist.  Exclaim! also noted the release and Amazon page and added that the soundtrack would be distributed by 4AD, although they haven’t added to their website yet.  I did some digging and I found it on the UK Amazon site.  I know quite a few of you who will be thrilled with this news.  As Vertigo said “the soundtrack is like it’s own character”.  Brilliant.  In the meantime, above is the cover artwork and below is the track list.  You can preorder at UK Amazon here:
