The use of dialogues in the score exceeded the 10-second limit which resulted in Jewel's manager discussing with [[SAG-AFTRA]] for over a month, as "no one had ever done a soundtrack that way". Eventually, Jewel had to compensate the actor's day rate plus 17.4 percent of the day rate to cover the SAG dues.<ref name=":1" /> The album also featured music from Jewel's former bands [[Glass Candy]], [[Chromatics (band)|Chromatics]], [[Desire (band)|Desire]] and [[Symmetry (band)|Symmetry]]; [[Saoirse Ronan]] and [[Ben Mendelsohn]] also contributed songs from the film.<ref>{{cite web |date=March 30, 2015 |title='Lost River' Soundtrack Released |url=http://filmmusicreporter.com/2015/03/30/lost-river-soundtrack-released/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150507171209/http://filmmusicreporter.com/2015/03/30/lost-river-soundtrack-released/ |archive-date=May 7, 2015 |access-date=September 21, 2015 |website=Film Music Reporter}}</ref> Line 33 ⟶ 45: == Reception == Nick Neyland of ''[[Pitchfork (website)|Pitchfork]]'' assigned 7 (out of 10), summarising "The depth and breadth of this album makes it feel archival, as if someone excavated Jewel’s vaults for material long after the film was released [...] This is a cut above the rest, but listening to it occasionally feels like sifting through a yard sale looking for gold."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Neyland |first=Nick |date=April 21, 2015 |title=Johnny Jewel: Lost River OST |url=https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/20513-lost-river-ost/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150725122205/https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/20513-lost-river-ost/ |archive-date=July 25, 2015 |access-date=June 25, 2024 |website=Pitchfork |language=en-US}}</ref> Geerit Feenstra of ''[[KEXP-FM]]'' wrote "From beginning to end, the ''Lost River'' soundtrack is a weird, wonderful, and vibrant mixture, from innocent bliss to crimelord hell, ''Lost River'' isn't afraid to brave the peaks and valleys of its accompanying film, and with Johnny Jewel and Italians Do It Better at the helm, things go off without a hitch.
