Coming in 2025, Mutant, in partnership with WaterTower Music, are proud to present the premiere physical release of Mick Giacchino’s score to the acclaimed series, available on 2x Vinyl, as well as 2x CD. Featuring exclusive original artwork by Henry Abrams, and liner notes by composer Mick Giacchino.
Composer Mick Giacchino, a longtime fan of DC’s Batman from an early age had this to say, “It was clear to me from the beginning that the score for The Penguin should feel like a deranged cousin from the bold and elegant musical language of The Batman. It had to be connected— but also had to take on its own identity when needed. That led me to begin Oz’s theme Scherzo for a Flightless Bird with a string quartet.
While string quartets are often associated with high society —the world of Bruce Wayne—something that Oz strives for—they can also channel a screechy frenzy that felt right for the unrelenting chaos Oz creates with his incredibly impulsive nature. This is the essence I tried to capture throughout the series. It has been the opportunity of a lifetime to work on this show, and I am so excited to share the original score album with all of The Penguin fans.”
