La Panthère des Neiges sees wildlife photographer Munier and novelist Sylvain Tesson traversing the Tibetan plateau, one of the most undisturbed wildlife sanctuaries in the world, in search of a snow leopard. With that in mind, “Las Cerfs” offers a similarly quiet vibe. Ethereal keys ring out as Cave, in his famous baritone, repeats the line, “I traveled a lot, unaware I was observed.” Perhaps he’s channeling the snow leopard in question.

 

The soundtrack to La Panthère des Neiges is out on December 17th on Invada ahead of its theatrical release on December 22nd. Cave and Ellis previously shared the soundtrack song “We Are Not Alone,” and last month, the pair announced a spring tour in support of February’s Carnage LP.
