O'Rourke's process - sourcing resonant sounds to be enmeshed together into a music that supersedes their resident parts - makes a fitting soundtrack for Kyle Armstrong's 'prairie gothic' tale of down-on-the-farm horror way up north in Canada. His minimalist score inhabits the wide open, big sky landscape, flowing into suddenly-deep (and opaque) emotional waters, then panning out to a chilly omniscient remove.
