Lakeshore Records is set to release The Life of Chuck—Official Soundtrack digitally today, June 6 with music by Andy Grush and Taylor Newton Stewart AKA The Newton Brothers (X-Men ’97). Also included on the album is the song “Joy” by Pocket Queen. The luminescent score provides an uplifting and atmospheric backdrop to the poignant story of the lead character. The Life of Chuck opens in select theaters on June 6th and everywhere on June 13th.
From the hearts and minds of Stephen King and Mike Flanagan comes The Life of Chuck, the extraordinary story of an ordinary man. This unforgettable, genre-bending tale celebrates the life of Charles ‘Chuck’ Krantz as he experiences the wonder of love, the heartbreak of loss, and the multitudes contained in all of us.
Note Grush and Stewart: “Working on ‘The Life of Chuck’ has been one of the most meaningful and emotionally resonant experiences we’ve had in our careers. We wanted the music to feel fragile, sweeping, and full of wonder while also remaining honest and vulnerable. Mike Flanagan, with his unparalleled heart and storytelling intuition, invited us into a world where Stephen King’s words became something universal and deeply personal all at once.”

ABOUT THE NEWTON BROTHERS
The Newton Brothers, Andy Grush and Taylor Newton Stewart, have cemented themselves as one of the most dynamic and innovative composing duos in film and television today. Known for seamlessly blending traditional orchestration with electronic elements, their music crafts immersive and emotionally resonant scores across genres.
Their latest project, Marvel’s critically acclaimed “X-Men ’97”, revives the beloved 1990s animated series with a fresh perspective while honoring its legacy. With a 100% rating, it stands as Marvel’s highest-rated project and one of 2024’s top-rated shows. Their signature sound enhances the action-packed storytelling, further elevating the X-Men’s long-awaited return.
Continuing their collaboration with Marvel, The Newton Brothers composed the score for the hit series “Daredevil: Born Again”, marking the highly anticipated return of Matt Murdock to the MCU. Their score amplifies the series’ dark, raw, and deeply thematic essence, incorporating elements of choir, organ synths, and orchestration to reflect the show’s religious undertones and high stakes.
They also continue to collaborate with director Mike Flanagan, scoring his next film “The Life of Chuck”, which made its festival premiere at the Toronto Film Festival and will be in theaters in the summer of 2025. Their ability to craft compelling musical narratives was evident in their record-breaking score for “Five Nights at Freddy’s”, the film adaptation of the popular video game. Their haunting composition played a pivotal role in heightening the film’s suspense and terror, contributing to its massive box office success and cultural impact.
On the television front, their score for Netflix’s “The Fall of the House of Usher” earned widespread acclaim, adding emotional depth and psychological tension to Mike Flanagan’s gothic horror masterpiece. The series further solidified their reputation for delivering evocative, story-driven music that enhances both character and atmosphere.
As The Newton Brothers expand their Marvel Universe footprint, their proven versatility and ability to redefine musical storytelling promise a bold and unforgettable auditory experience for Daredevil, the X-Men, and beyond.
