Who Composed the LaRoy, Texas Score?
The film’s original score was composed collaboratively by Delphine Malaussena, Rim Laurens, and Clément Peiffer, and released as an official soundtrack album by Music Box Publishing in September 2023. Per Film Music Reporter’s official album announcement, Malaussena’s prior credits include Final Set and En plein feu, and Laurens previously scored Brides.
Correction note: An earlier version of this page spelled the same composer’s name two different ways in the same post (“Rim Laurens” and “Rim Lawrence”) and included an unverifiable claim about “500 festivals” and “35 international awards.” We could not confirm those specific figures from any film-music trade source, so they’ve been removed. The three composer names themselves are accurate and are used consistently here.
