The Luckiest Man in America (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) accompanies the 2025 dramatic thriller The Luckiest Man in America, directed and co‑written by Samir Oliveros. The original score was composed by John Carroll Kirby, an American composer and producer known for his atmospheric, genre‑blending work such as the Cryptozoo score and his own solo projects. Kirby’s music for the film integrates ambient textures, jazz‑inflected harmonies and electronic elements to reflect the emotional depth and storytelling rhythm of the true‑story narrative.
The soundtrack album was released on May 2, 2025 via Stones Throw Records. Titled The Luckiest Man in America (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), the digital release contains 14 original score tracks with a total runtime of approximately 37 minutes, and is available on major platforms including Apple Music and other digital services. Vinyl editions have also been announced.
Kirby’s score emphasizes mood and character, using subtle melodic lines, minimalist rhythmic undercurrents and warm instrumental layers to support both tension and introspective moments in the story. Tracks such as “The Whammy” and “Patricia’s Theme” illustrate the score’s blend of emotional nuance and narrative propulsion, designed to complement the film’s exploration of fortune, chance and personal consequence.
