As John Adams continues his participation in The Kennedy Center's Perspectives: John Adams by leading a free performance of his work at The Kennedy Center's Millennium Stage (to be broadcast live online at kennedy-center.org today at 6 PM), Nonesuch Records is pleased to announce the release of the soundtrack to the film I Am Love, featuring Adams's music, on June 15. The album is now available for pre-order in the Nonesuch Store.

A ten-year labor of love from director Luca Guadagnino and actress Tilda Swinton, I Am Love was directed and produced with Adams's music in mind, leading several of Adams's works to surge with new life as the score to film. Following its UK theatrical release last month, the Times of London gave the film a perfect five stars, exclaiming: "Elegantly paced, exquisitely photographed and blessed with a sublime score by John Adams, the film references both Visconti and Hitchcock, but is a masterpiece in its own right."

One day after the soundtrack's June 15 release, Adams and Swinton will be in New York City for a red-carpet premiere gala, announcing the June 18 opening of the film in the United States.

The film's soundtrack features more than an hour of music from a number of works by John Adams: Chairman Dances; movement one from Century Rolls; Lollapalooza; the third and fourth movements from Shaker Loops; the "Desert Chorus" from the opera The Death of Klinghoffer; an excerpt from Fearful Symmetries; and parts two and three from Harmonielehre.

    The Way Out of Easy, the first album from guitarist Jeff Parker and his long-running ETA IVtet—saxophonist Josh Johnson, bassist Anna Butterss, drummer Jay Bellerose—since their 2022 debut Mondays at the Enfield Tennis Academy, which Pitchfork named one of the Best Albums of the 2020s So Far, is out now on International Anthem / Nonesuch Records. Like that album, The Way Out of Easy comprises recordings from LA venue ETA, where Parker and the ensemble held a weekly residency for seven years. During that time, the ETA IVtet evolved from a band that played mostly standards into a group known for its transcendent, long-form journeys into innovative, groove-oriented improvised music. All four tracks on The Way Out of Easy come from a single night in 2023, providing an unfiltered view of the ensemble, fully in their element.

Akinmusire says, “In many respects this entire work is inspired by and is an homage to the work of the composer Julius Eastman and his organic music concept." The opening track, “muffled screams,” is out now.
