Music from Love & Mercy

Music from Love and Mercy is the soundtrack album to Bill Pohlad's film of the same name about the Beach Boys' songwriter-musician-producer and co-founder Brian Wilson. The album was released by Capitol Records on August 14, 2015. Selections from Atticus Ross's original film score were included in addition to song performances featured in the film. The closing track, "One Kind of Love", was written by Wilson specially for the film.

Pohlad has spoken that he envisioned the original score as a representation of Wilson's auditory hallucinations, which manifest to Wilson as complex sounds and disembodied voices. The resultant score was composed substantially from mashed up samples of Beach Boys songs, taking inspiration from the Beatles' "Revolution 9" (1968) and Danger Mouse's The Grey Album (2004).
