Think this has been mentioned in other threads but anyway Mica Levi has a soundtrack for a film called Monos coming out at the end of the month. Film looks intriguing - Monos (2019) - IMDb
That and Chernobyl both getting Vinyl releases at the start of September as well.
Bit random this as it is in no way new but I discovered this soundtrack recently and it absolutely blew my mind.
Looks like it’s going to be a typical Giallo soundtrack conforming to one of the Morricone templates but it’s unlike anything I’ve heard from this time/genre.
Basically a drone album with vocal elements that are reminiscent of Meredith Monk or maybe Joan LaBarbara. It’s just stunning.
I don’t know anything about Vittorio Gelmetti but Nora Orlando was a vocalist who worked as Moriccone’s Choral arranger as well as making some fantastic soundtracks of her own but this is the most distinctive work I’ve heard.

It’s really cool to see him following Oneohtrix/Ben Frost/etc and getting into film scores finally and it actually feels like a great standalone record in its own right. Just chucked him a few quid for it on Bandcamp and might grab the vinyl.
Haven’t actually heard his other stuff. Not sure why.
Listened through on bandcamp and then ordered the vinyl!
I knew the Shostakovich piece and always quite liked that Plan B track, but fuck me I’d not heard the German one and now Plan B basically did very little, didn’t he? Explains why I don’t like anything else by him.
Oh wow, he’s had two amazing studio/non-soundtrack albums out before this and is great live too. Dig in!
