Mutant, in partnership with WaterTower Music are proud to present the premiere physical release of Mick Giacchino's score to the critically acclaimed and Award-winning limited series THE PENGUIN.
Following the events of the 2022 feature film THE BATMAN, THE PENGUIN has the unenviable task of bringing a prestige television elevation to one of the most iconic comic-book villains of all time. Thankfully Mick Giacchino (STAR WARS: SKELETON CREW), who did additional music for the film as well, found a way to bridge the gap from the more heightened comic-book elements of the previous chapter, and grounds them in the grimy lived in character study that showrunner Lauren LeFranc and executive producer Matt Reeves have crafted for this series.
Frantic, chaotic like the titular character itself, Mick's score brings together elevated string quartets and percussion made from literal trash-cans, waltzing and occasionally crashing between worlds of high society and low-level crime. It's a brilliantly designed score that rests comfortably in the cannon of great Batman-music, while playing with the conventions of what these types of stories can be.
Featuring liner notes by composer Mick Giacchino, and pressed on 2x 140gm vinyl.

批評家から絶賛され、数々の賞を受賞したリミテッド・シリーズ「THE PENGUIN－ザ・ペンギン－」のミック・ジアッキーノによるスコアが140g重量盤LP2枚組でリリース！
トラックリスト2022年に公開された長編映画『THE BATMAN－ザ・バットマン－』に続き、『THE PENGUIN－ザ・ペンギン－』は、史上最も象徴的なコミック本の悪役のひとりに、プレステージの高いテレビ放映をもたらすという不運な任務を背負っている。ありがたいことに、映画でも追加音楽を担当したミック・ジアッキーノ（『スター・ウォーズ：スケルトン・クルー』）は、前章のコミック本的な高揚した要素とのギャップを埋める方法を見つけ、ショーランナーのローレン・ルフランクとエグゼクティブ・プロデューサーのマット・リーブスがこのシリーズのために作り上げた、陰惨な生活感のあるキャラクター研究にそれらを置き換えた。
ミックのスコアは、上流社会と低レベルの犯罪の世界を行き来しながらワルツを歌い、時には衝突する。この手のストーリーの常識を翻弄しながらも、偉大なバットマン・ミュージックの大砲に違和感なく収まる、見事なデザインのスコアだ。
作曲家ミック・ジアッキーノによるライナーノーツ付き。
