Composer is Cliff Martinez, absolutely unknown to me.
I do too. It is quite minimalistic but very good. It can get repetitive, but it fits the film very nicely, especially the ending of the film and the last track is very cool.

I really love a good orchestral soundtrack. As such, I tend to migrate towards Williams, James Newton Howard, Howard Shore, John Debney (select few), James Horner, Basil Poledouris... In my mind, Danny Elfman has done some great work, but I do find that a lot of his stuff is similar. I can also instantly recognize his work - he has a very distinct style.

James Horner - The Perfect Storm. Not to be overlooked. :)
