Sasquatch Sunset
Riley Keough's main focus may be on acting, but her grandfather Elvis Presley's powerhouse pipes run through her blood.
On Friday, a single from the soundtrack of Keough's latest film Sasquatch Sunset dropped — and it features vocals from the Golden Globe-nominated star, 34. Titled "The Creatures of Nature," the song was composed by the Austin, Texas-based indie group The Octopus Project, who wrote the score for the movie, and is the sole song on the soundtrack to feature the actress.
As Sasquatch Sunset follows the joyous and somber moments of a year in the life of a family of Bigfoot-like creatures in the wilderness, "The Creatures of Nature" is a beguiling folk song about the mysterious spirits and their relationship with the environment.
