Ludwig Göransson’s ‘The Mandalorian’ Score Set for Massive Vinyl Box Set
Ludwig Göransson’s soundtrack for Season One of The Mandalorian will be released as a massive and limited edition 8-LP vinyl box set via Mondo.
Göransson’s individual scores for each of the eight episodes of Disney+’s Star Wars spinoff were initially only released digitally, but Mondo’s limited edition, one-time pressing will collect the entire Season One soundtrack for its first-ever physical release.
The Mandalorian: Season One, limited to just 3,500 copies, is available to preorder beginning August 26th through the Mondo Shop. Each of the eight chapters, pressed on 180-gram vinyl, is housed in its own jacket featuring original artwork by Paul Mann. The entire 8-LP set is also housed in a heavy-duty slipcase adorned with the titular Mandalorian’s mudhorn Signet.
The Oscar-winning and Record of the Year Grammy-winning Göransson’s work on The Mandalorian previously featured in a music video dedicated to the series’ theme. Since then, the composer and Childish Gambino collaborator has also worked on Christopher Nolan’s Tenet, with Göransson teaming with Travis Scott for that soundtrack’s “The Plan.”
“It’s no longer a secret that Ludwig Göransson is the most talented and exciting person working in film and television music right now,” Mondo Creative Director of Music says Mo Shafeek said in a statement. “But what goes unspoken is his chameleon-like ability to play within multiple genres, even within single cues of his songwriting for the screen. His music for films like Creed and Black Panther showcase not only his collaborative nature, but also his relationship to pop and hip hop, as well as blending untraditional instrumentation with traditional orchestras.”
Shafeek added, “His score for The Mandalorian is similarly masterful in its ability to be wildly experimental while never feeling out of place – like a synth spaghetti western score that feels inspired in equal parts to Ennio Morricone, John Williams and Hans Zimmer, while also never feeling like a pastiche. We are honored to be the home for this complete score.”
