Steve (Original Netflix Film Soundtrack) features the atmospheric original score by acclaimed composers Ben Salisbury and Geoff Barrow for the Netflix film Steve. Known for their work on celebrated projects such as Ex Machina, Annihilation, Devs, and Civil War, the duo bring their signature blend of experimental electronics, emotional depth, and cinematic sound design to this new feature.
The soundtrack also includes original songs and curated music featured in the film, including “Don’t Leave Too Soon” by Little Simz, written specifically for her character Shy. Additional contributions from electronic producer Slipmatt expand the sonic palette, blending rave-inspired textures with modern cinematic scoring.
Salisbury and Barrow’s score is characterized by minimalist motifs, analog synth layers, and immersive ambient textures, creating a tense yet emotionally grounded atmosphere that mirrors the film’s narrative. Their approach emphasizes mood and psychological depth, using restrained instrumentation that gradually builds tension throughout the soundtrack.
With a tracklist that moves between character-driven pieces such as “Shy,” “Oxycodone,” and “In Agony,” and more rhythmically driven cues like “Break the Beats,” the album reflects the film’s emotional contrasts and narrative intensity.
This vinyl edition presents the complete soundtrack on a collectible LP format, continuing the duo’s reputation as leading innovators in contemporary film music and electronic scoring.
