William Ryan Fritch’s lush and gorgeous original soundtrack for Freeland is now available to own or stream, on Bandcamp, iTunes, Amazon, and wherever you get your music. Many of our reviews have highlighted Will’s score.

“William Ryan Fritch's nuanced score and the subtle sound design by Peter Albrechtsen work in graceful tandem as the directors slowly ratchet up the tension. The music thrums, nearby laughter hovers ominously, and Devi's mounting unease shifts into suspicion, paranoia and, at a course-changing moment, righteously unhinged fury.” - Hollywood Reporter

“William Ryan Fritch’s piquant and cacophonous score swirls” - The Moveable Fest

“It feels like he has created a new language with the dying-breath orchestral mechanics and sluggish charm of Freeland. The landscapes of Freeland are also drenched in the thick coats of double bass and stumble in and out of coherent rhythms.  It's almost as if Tom Waits, Moondog, Colin Stetson, and Yair Elazar Glotman went and fell asleep in the middle of the Redwood Forest with all of their instruments for 30 years, waking up moss covered and delirious. Then making the best of their situation, they decide to just start playing, conjuring up some of the most pungent slow-jazz dirges - built of cyclical half-rotted wooden basslines and rich cavernous knocks, and the sound of water-logged horns slowly weezing their way back to life,” - Ryan Keane, Lost Tribe Sound.

*A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this album will go to charities who assist in helping cannabis growers overcome legal obstacles and help the many growers, unable to carry insurance that were devastated by the 2020 California wildfires.
