zacooper Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 (edited) http://store.iam8bit.com/collections/vinyl/products/swiss-army-man-original-soundtrack A24, Lakeshore Records and iam8bit have rallied together to create one of the most unique vinyl albums in recent memory, as a compliment to one of Sundance 2016’s most breakout and gutsy films, Swiss Army Man. Composed by Andy Hull and Robert McDowell, members of the prestigious Manchester Orchestra, the sounds present here aren’t what you’d expect. The duo has, in fact, shattered convention entirely, incorporating the melodic voices of stars Paul Dano and Daniel Radcliffe, into an almost completely A cappella experience. Seriously, give it a listen via the Spotify Album below. It’s a wholly unique approach to a filmic score. No ordinary package design would do for such a transcendent soundtrack, so we’ve got that covered, too! Through immaculate illustration, artist Mark Englert brings the film’s unusual and surprisingly sentimental universe to life with an album art concept that defies industry standards. While the media has pegged this as the “farting corpse movie,” what lies within the film’s moving narrative is a deep and complex friendship between Manny (Daniel Radcliffe) and Hank (Paul Dano). Lovingly accentuated via a paper doll diorama playset, several important character moments come to life against the backdrop of beachside beginnings (i.e. an inventive use of the record’s gatefold). As with all new iam8bit music releases, the audio is mastered specifically for optimal vinyl audio quality. I for one am enjoying this album immensely and am stoked to pick it up.

oldmanmcgenty Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 (edited) I pulled the trigger on this because I have no self control and will buy anything that involves Andy Hull. Edited June 30, 2016 by oldmanmcgenty zacooper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juturna90 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Hell yes! Thank you for the link. I was really hoping there would be a vinyl release of this. Can't wait to see the movie as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadDonut Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Picked one up as well. I've been waiting for the vinyl announcement but wasn't sure if there would be one. Variant choice looks rad and the paper doll set isn't really "cool" but def a nice little bonus. Loving the soundtrack and can't wait to see the movie.

thedannychang Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Saw this a month or so back. Absolutely loved it. The music added so much to the movie. Going to need to grab this soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Love that diagram with the pointers. <--- VINYL SOUNDTRACK Oh, shit; is that what that is? I though it was a VHS or maybe a meatball sub. Royce 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blumplum Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Saw this last weekend, loved the movie and have been listening to the soundtrack all week. Can't wait to get my hands on this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dawhizz Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 More than what I'd like to have spent on this, but I'm an Andy Hull sucker. oldmanmcgenty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickydenim Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Looks great! Hey do any of these guys releases end up on Amazon? Shipping to Aus always kills me. If it's the only place I can get it then guess I'll have to jump on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
