Arcade Fire/Hunger Games/Abraham’s Daughter

2nd March 2012

The Hunger Games is, I hear, a cross between Twilight and Battle Royale, so the anticipation is sky high.

Floating around the internet today is the news that Arcade Fire have chipped in with a “club banger” for the soundtrack, named Abraham’s Daughter, and I love it!

Win Butler has also spoke about the making of the track.

“Our whole approach was to get into the world and try to create something that serves the story and the film. There’s something in the story of Abraham and Isaac that I think resonates with the themes in the film, like sacrificing children. So we made a weird, apocryphal, alternate-universe version of that, where it’s as if Abraham had a daughter — kind of a metaphor for Katniss.”

Yes. Listen below.

You can get the soundtrack on March 20, and a ticket for the film sometime after that (in the US anyway.)
