London, 24th March 2022 – 
 

Didn’t we announce this already? Must be Déjà Vu…
 

The visionaries at Bethesda Softworks, Arkane Lyon and Laced Records are bringing the twisted ’60s soundtrack for award-winning looper-shooter DEATHLOOP® to vinyl.
 

Pre-orders are open for the Limited Edition quadruple LP box set (exclusive to www.lacedrecords.com) featuring blue, orange, green and purple galaxy-effect discs (the Standard Edition features traditional black discs). The complete 59-track soundtrack has been specially mastered for vinyl and will be pressed onto heavyweight discs. These will come in spined inner sleeves all housed in a rigid board slipcase. Tracklist curation and stunning original sleeve artwork is by the DEATHLOOP® team at Arkane Lyon.
 

The separate double LP set features a 19-track selection pressed on heavyweight LPs in solid blue and orange, with printed inner sleeves and a wide-spined outer sleeve.
 

Lead composer Tom Salta has built an enviable credits list. For DEATHLOOP®’s original score, he immersed himself in the music of Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Nelson Riddle and a host of other late-’60s influences. Layers of period-appropriate organs, synths and other instruments (including Rhodes, Wurlitzer and Hammond B3) help maintain the tension as Colt picks off Eternalists from the shadows. As things get dicey, or Julianna intervenes with extreme prejudice, tracks explode into furious guitar and drum grooves that propel the zany, supernaturally enhanced gunplay.
 

Ross Tregenza’s multi-genre diegetic cues perfectly complement the psycho-sophisticate stylings of Blackreef’s artistically aspirational inhabitants, while songwriter Erich Talaba and singer Jeff Cummings brought to life the vicious visionary Frank Spicer with catchy in-universe songs. Music agency Sencit teamed up with powerful yet soulful vocalists for trailer and credits songs, including Bond-ish banger “Déjà Vu” (featuring FJØRA), “Pitch Black” (featuring Lady Blackbird) and “Down the Rabbit Hole” (featuring Samantha Howard & Haqq.)
