Description
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 black vinyl.
