Coming-of-age indie drama The Starling Girl opened in theaters last week; it’s written and directed by Laurel Parmet and stars Eliza Scanlen as a teenager in a rural Christian fundamentalist community. The movie also stars Lewis Pullman, Wrenn Schmidt, Austin Abrams, and Jimmi Simpson and features a new Lord Huron song called “Ace Up My Sleeve,” which accompanied the trailer. In addition to writing “Ace Up My Sleeve” for The Starling Girl, Lord Huron’s Ben Schneider also helped score the film.

“Being asked to compose a song that actually plays a role in the story is a dream come true for a songwriter,” Schneider says. “To have the song function in service of the narrative of such a beautiful film in that way is really special.”

Hear “Ace Up My Sleeve” below.
