Everything Everywhere All At Once is an upcoming sci-fi action romp starring martial arts legend Michelle Yeoh and directed by Daniels (Swiss Army Man). The film boasts an unusually large 49-song soundtrack from Son Lux, the New York-based electronic trio who collaborated with Mitski and David Byrne on the soundtrack's lead single "This Is A Life." Today, they've shared another team-up called "Fence" featuring Moses Sumney.

In both form and content, "Fence" is a worthy companion to the sonic territory Sumney explored on 2020's græe, one of the best albums of the year. Sumney's voice is the lodestar for the seemingly limitless feel of the composition, orchestral yet rippling with the searing intimacy Sumney does so well. "In the morning light you look disappointed, like / You finally see me," he sings at the song's opening as its heartstrings fray into glorious points of light. Listen below before the arrival of the soundtrack and film on April 8.
