Boyle was so smitten with the punctuation-moving, Montreal squatter-orchestra Godspeed You! Black Emperor, when he could only acquire one song from the notoriously anti-corporate, fiercely anarchistic doomsday rockers, he contracted composer John Murphy to essentially write an entire soundtrack that sounded like Godspeed facsimiles.
