Austin, TX – February 8, 2025 – Mutant, in partnership with Searchlight Pictures and Hollywood Records, is proud to present the premiere physical release of Nate Heller’s soundtrack to the film “Nightbitch” from Marielle Heller, featuring exclusive artwork by Mira Mariah (GirlKnewYork).
Nate Heller (“A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood,” “Diary of a Teenage Girl,” “Can You Ever Forgive Me?”) has crafted a beautiful, bouncy and haunted score for the complicated life of a stay at home mother. Choruses and strings swell in periods of bliss, and droning synths drown the air in periods of darkness – this dichotomy is present in the story of a woman who’s evolving while feeling stuck at the same time.
“Nate Heller’s score to ‘Nightbitch’ perfectly captures the multitude of emotions at play in this gorgeous and darkly funny film,” says Mo Shafeek, co-founder of Mutant. “We are so honored to work on this album with one of our favorite working artists Mira Mariah (GirlKnewYork). We couldn’t have hoped for a more perfect collaboration.”
“I felt this film in my bones.” says artist Mira Mariah “I felt inspired and energized by the film. As a mother, artist, woman, and feral beast, seeing a story about an artist who reclaims her power against a merciless patriarchy that shows up everywhere- even the mirror, was incredibly grounding. I’m so happy stories like this are being told, and I’m so honored to make art that interacts with such important work. I felt inspired and energized by the film.”
“Nightbitch” stars Academy Award nominee Amy Adams as a woman who pauses her career to be a stay-at-home mom, but soon her new domesticity takes a surreal turn. The film is produced by Anne Carey, p.g.a., Marielle Heller, p.g.a., Sue Naegle, p.g.a., Christina Oh, Amy Adams, and Stacy O’Neil. It also stars Scoot McNairy, Arleigh Snowden, Emmett Snowden, Zoë Chao, Mary Holland, Archana Rajan, and Jessica Harper.
