Austin, TX – June 27, 2025 – Mutant is proud to present Academy Award®-winning composer Michael Giacchino’s latest installment of his Exotic Themes for the Silver Screen series. “Michael Giacchino – Exotic Themes For The Silver Screen – Volume 2” features more iconic scores from Giacchino’s career that have been exclusively rearranged and re-recorded for this series in the retro lounge style of the 1950s. Available for pre-order beginning today at noon CT, the album is pressed on limited-edition color vinyl (also available on CD) and features liner notes by Charles Phoenix and artwork by Luke Insect.
Volume 2 spans the period of 2012 to 2022 and features not only his work with Marvel Studios (including their iconic Marvel Studios Fanfare, “Spider-Man,” “Doctor Strange” and more!) but also more career defining music for Disney • Pixar (“Inside Out,” “Coco,” “Lightyear”) as well as smaller, cult classics like “John Carter,” and “Tomorrowland,” more personal films such as “Jojo Rabbit” and “The Book of Henry.” He has taken these iconic themes and transformed them into soothing, beautiful 60’s lounge-inspired reworks.
Other highlights include “The Batman Suite” taken from Matt Reeves 2022 blockbuster “The Batman,” “Jyn Erso’s Theme” from “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” as well as themes for “War For The Planet Of The Apes,” “Jurassic World” and two selections taken from his directorial debut, “Werewolf By Night.”
“We are thrilled to continue exploring Michael’s storied career with this incredible collection of some of his most beloved themes reworked for warm summer nights with a cocktail (or mocktail) in hand,” says Mutant co-founder Spencer Hickman. “Michael is a rare composer who is comfortable with superheroes, horror, action, or intimate drama. He always manages to create incredibly beautiful earworms that have been further highlighted by these stripped-back downtempo versions of his award-winning themes.”
To celebrate the release of this new album, Michael will be performing an exclusive concert in San Diego at the Epstein Family Amphitheater on July 22nd. The concert will feature music from both volumes of the series. Additionally, Mutant will have an exclusive variant of the LP available for purchase, limited to just 300 copies. This variant will also include an exclusive secret 7-inch for anyone attending and purchasing the album. Tickets for the event are on sale now at https://artpower.ucsd.edu/event/michael-giacchino-exotic-themes/.
