Marr to release 'Warp-like' soundtrack

Johnny Marr has suggested that his film score for The Big Bang will be released by the end of the year.

The ex-Smiths guitarist told NME that he was hired to compose the soundtrack for the Tony Kratz-directed movie because Kratz was a fan of his early 2000s group The Healers.

Marr said: "I've done new stuff which is kind of atmospheric and almost Warp-like.

"Making the guitar sound electronic. Where other people would have used orchestras I've made the same effect using guitars."

He added that the movie is "a weird sort of half-detective, half-trippy" film.
