Nick Cave and Warren Elliis have released "Les Cerfs", the second track to be lifted from their Les Panthère des Neiges film score.

"Les Cerfs" is the second song to be shared from the Les Panthère des Neiges soundtrack, after it was announced last month with the lead track "We Are Not Alone".

According to a press release, the film will see wildlife photographer Vincent Munier and adventurer/novelist Sylvian Tesson to explore valleys in the Tibetan Plateau, searching for wildlife and snow leopards.

Speaking about the film and score, Ellis said, "There is something about the heart of this film that draws you in. I realised after a day, that I wanted to do whatever it took to compose an entire original score. The film deserved to have its own musical voice. I booked five days and asked Nick if he could come in for a day to write a theme song and play some piano. He saw the film and stayed for four days."

"In the end we made what I think is one of the most beautiful films we have ever worked on," Ellis added. "One of my favourite experiences ever working on a project. The stars are the animals in all their wild glory, as we have never seen them before, and man in reverence and wonder."

"Les Cerfs" is out now. Nick Cave and Warren Ellis' score for La Panthère des Neiges will arrive digitally via Invada Records and Lakeshore Records on Friday (17 December), ahead of the film's release in the US on 22 December.
