Platoon has announced the official soundtrack album for the action comedy Wolfs. The album features the film’s original music composed by Emmy Award winner Theodore Shapiro (Severance, Tropic Thunder, The Devil Wears Prada, Bombshell, Destroyer, Marley & Me, Spy). The soundtrack will be released digitally this Friday, September 20. Listen to two first tracks (Lone Wolf & Party Trick) after the jump. Wolfs is written and directed by Jon Watts and stars Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Amy Ryan, Austin Abrams and Poorna Jagannathan. The movie follows a professional fixer who is hired to cover up a high-profile crime, but when a second fixer shows up, the two “lone wolves” are forced to work together and find their night spiraling out of control. The comedy, which premiered at this year’s Venice Film Festival, will be released in select theaters on September 20 before making its streaming debut next Friday, September 27 on Apple TV+.

“When writing any score,” shares Shapiro, “I like to assemble a good list of ingredients. For the score to ‘Wolfs’, Jon Watts had a fascinating combination of ideas that formed the ingredient list. He wanted a largely electronic score. But he also wanted the music to have subtle reflections of Carl Stalling’s music for Looney Tunes cartoons. And he wanted the kind of bold colors that might have a tinge of a spaghetti western feeling, plus a variety of strange percussion sounds. Those ingredients form the sound of ‘Wolfs’. The score features the cimbalom, an Eastern European stringed instrument that is struck with hammers; a variety of vintage synthesizers; a host of odd percussion; and also subtle gestures that cling to the action the way a cartoon score might. It is an unusual concoction but one that hopefully captures the essence of Jon’s singular vision.”
