The Extra Man Soundtrack out now

Klaus Badelt's score to "The Extra Man" is out now. For this witty and eccentric comedy, Klaus - together with collaborator Christopher Carmichael - combined balalaika-inspired themes with the intimate sound of a small orchestra. The music was recorded at EMI Abbey Road London and Klaus' own Theme Park studios in Santa Monica. The soundtrack is released by Klaus' online music outlet labelzero.com.

This is Klaus' first collaboration with academy award nominated directors Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini, and also with New York based producer Anthony Bregman ("Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind").

The movie, starring Kevin Kline, Paul Dano, Katie Holmes and John C. Reilly, follows Louis Ives (Dano), a lonely dreamer, that sublets a room in the ramshackle apartment of Henry Harrison (Kline). Henry develops an odd mentor relationship with Louis and teaches him the art of being an "extra man," accompanying and entertaining wealthy older women in their fanciful social lives. Their relationship leads to a series of urban adventures, encountering everything from a leaping lion to a wildly jealous neighbor.

The soundtrack album is now available in Klaus' online store and in all major digital retailers.
