The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross' second score for a David Fincher film, finds them further pushing the boundaries of their collaboration. Their brilliant Academy Award-winning score for The Social Network was as much an aural portrait of the film's version of Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg as it was a backdrop for the film's action, juxtaposing bright, clinical electronics with bottomed-out desperation; however, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo only has hints of its protagonist, defiant hacker Lisbeth Salander, flitting through its massive length -- over three hours, making it longer than the actual film -- like a ghost in the machine. Indeed, the music's most Salander-like trait might be how often it defies convention. While the opening cover of Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song," which features the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' Karen O standing in for Robert Plant's barbaric yawp, goes in an industrial rock direction that nods to Nine Inch Nails' '90s heyday (indeed, there's more than a touch of the '90s to Lisbeth's goth-hacker persona), the bulk of the score is cavernous, elongated, and surprisingly restrained given its sheer size. The pair rarely turns up the volume, and even on louder cues such as "With the Flies" and "You're Here," the effect feels more like industrial music's ghost than a full onslaught. Instead, Ross and Reznor craft almost unrelenting tension and paranoia with dark electronic drones that are only slightly mitigated by piano, guitar, and percussion but still leave a feeling of deep unease, particularly on tracks like "Under the Midnight Sun," which closes with a sinister, respirator-like loop. When they do break this mood, it leads to some of the score's loveliest moments, such as "What If We Could?," which pairs a delicate piano melody with a discordant electronic shadow, and the equally lovely and unsettling "Please Take Your Hand Away." The duo spends just as much time establishing the film's frosty environs on tracks such as "Hidden in Snow," which evokes dripping icicles paired with dubstep-like bass, while clever contrasts like "Perihelion"'s hypnotic, almost squealing drones and "Aphelion"'s receding tones add to the score's cohesiveness. There's also an oddly feminine depth to the score's layered sounds, making it easy to get lost in the intricacies of texture and melody of cues such as "Cut into Pieces" and "Hypomania." Hearing the entire score at once might be exhausting for casual listeners, but The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is a musical labyrinth that is well worth getting lost in for Ross and Reznor fans as well as soundtrack buffs. ~ Heather Phares
