Pomegranates is a 2015 album by Nicolas Jaar, intended as an unofficial alternate soundtrack to the 1969 film The Colour of Pomegranates. Mark Richardson, writing for Pitchfork Media, stated that "there are long stretches, particularly in the early going, where it's more of a sound piece than what is usually described as 'music', but the album's second half contains some of Jaar's loveliest tunes.

Nicolas Jaar releases new album Pomegranates for free. The new LP, titled Pomegranates, was adapted from Jaar’s re-scoring of the Soviet film The Color Of Pomegranates which he released earlier this year, however he is quick to note in the downloaded materials that this version of the album does not synch up with the movie. The download comes with some photographs, a lengthy note from Jaar talking about the album, and a pictures of record labels that strongly hint at a future vinyl release.
What is Nicolas Jaar up to? In the past few weeks, he’s let slip two new 12-inch EPs and one alternate soundtrack reworked into an LP. He also pressed a concert DVD of his side project, Darkside, which called it quits last year after one excellent album and a string of some of the best live performances in recent memory. Jaar makes excellent work, but he’s rarely content to sit in one place for long. By contrast, the Pomegranates floats by in impressionistic shades. According to the album’s liner notes, Jaar found a unifying point to a swath of unused music when he stumbled upon the experimental Soviet film The Color of Pomegranates. The producer had already planned to call his next collection Pomegranates, and the film locked into the moods he had been conjuring in his recent work. He shaped the music to fit the movie and ended up making an album in two days.
Nicolas Jaar – Pomegranates. Label: Other People – OP031. Album is a re-scoring of the Soviet film The Color Of Pomegranates. Release on MPEG-4 format. Notes from artist regarding release: A the beginning of 2015 my friend Milo heard some of these songs and told me about the film. I watched it and was dumbfounded.
