New Mondo-exclusive Milan Record releases of the ‘It Follows’ and ‘The Witch’ soundtracks are also coming.
Like many moviegoers, Mondo is a major fan of the many projects of A24. To celebrate another year of stellar releases from the studio, the pop culture collectible brand is slapping more of the sounds of the production company onto vinyl records. In total, there are four new records coming including two soundtrack releases for Mondo’s recent favorites After Yang and Lamb. The other two are special releases exclusive to Mondo from Milan Records featuring the soundtracks of the massive A24 horrors It Follows and The Witch.
After Yang proved to be a festival favorite upon its run in 2021 and continued to be a success with audiences and critics as it entered theaters in 2022. Directed by Kogonada based on the short story Saying Goodbye to Yang by Alexander Weinstein, the groundbreaking sci-fi tale follows a family and their relationship with their A.I. companion Yang. When the robot short circuits and becomes unresponsive, the father Jake (Colin Farrell) goes to great lengths to try to repair it. The emotional drama which explores themes of loss and what it means to truly be alive also came with an excellent soundtrack composed by Aska Matsumiya with contributions from Ryuichi Sakamoto and liner notes by David Sims. Mondo’s vinyl of the soundtrack comes pressed in either 180 Gram Tea Leaves or Black.
The folk horror film Lamb, meanwhile, was released in 2021 and hailed from director Valdimar Jóhannsson with help from the multi-talented Icelandic poet Sjón. It took a disturbing look at a childless couple who discovered a lamb/human hybrid child in their sheep barn and decided to raise it as their own. Sinister forces from the wilderness, however, try to take the child back to its rightful home. Mondo will dress the soundtrack by Tóti Guðnason up by packaging it in a 140 Gram White vinyl with a soft touch gatefold sleeve featuring exclusive cover art by Rory Kurtz.
