Back Lot Music will release the official soundtrack album for Jordan Peele’s second feature Us. The album features the film’s original music composed by Michael Abels who previously scored the filmmaker’s Get Out. Also included are songs by Luniz, Janelle Monáe and Minnie Riperton. The soundtrack will be released digitally tomorrow, March 15 and will be available to download on Amazon, where you can also check out audio clips.

The movie centers on a woman returning to her beachside childhood home with her husband and – haunted by an unexplainable and unresolved trauma from her past and compounded by a string of eerie coincidences – feels her paranoia elevate to high-alert as she grows increasingly certain that something bad is going to befall her family.
