Eric André returns as BLARF with Film Scores for Films That Don’t Exist, a new album out May 1, 2026, via Stones Throw Records. The first single “What’s For Dinner” is out now. BLARF will perform the album in full with a live orchestra on April 27, 2026, at the prestigious Colburn School’s Zipper Hall in Los Angeles.
Most people know André as an actor and for his surreal, boundary-pushing comedy, but few know him as a bona fide musician who attended the prestigious Berklee School of Music, where he specialized in standing bass. Film Scores for Films That Don’t Exist was conceived as a series of short film scores for movies that don’t exist, as well as a standalone work.
Inspired by the iconic scoring work of Ennio Morricone and Vangelis, André co-composed the album for full orchestra along with his collaborator, with recording sessions taking place in Los Angeles and Budapest. Where BLARF’s 2019 debut Cease & Desist blurred the line between parody and experiment, Film Scores For Films That Don’t Exist takes a more serious approach, though not without occasional flashes of humor.
Film Scores for Films that Don’t Exist was co-written and executive produced by Prateek Rajagopal. His work spans composition and production credits across industries and genres from death metal export Gutslit, to Hollywood (The Mandalorian, Creed 3, Trolls 3, Him, Eddington), Bollywood (Tu Yaa Main), and Tollywood (Birthday).
The project brings together multiple threads of André’s career – musician, comedian, actor, and outsider artist – synthesized into a single statement.
On April 27, BLARF will present the music live with a full orchestra at Zipper Hall in Los Angeles.
