This is a first for La-La Land Records. Their good friend, Joe Kraemer (Jack Reacher), came to them with a gorgeous score he composed for a low budget movie called FAVOR. The score runs around 28 minutes long. We didn’t press up cds for this score, but on Tuesday it will be available digitally on iTunes and other fine digital retailers. A digital booklet will be included as part of the package.
Kip's perfect life is put in jeopardy when the waitress with whom he's having a casual fling is accidentally killed in their motel room. Desperate, he turns to childhood friend and loser, Marvin, to help get rid of the body. Marvin agrees which begins the unraveling of their friendship and ultimately leads both to murderous acts they never thought themselves capable of.
