True Panther & Atlantic Records will release a soundtrack album for the animated feature In Waves. The album features the film’s original music composed by singer/DJ/music producer Oklou (aka Marylou Mayniel) and Rob (aka Robin Coudert) (Maniac, Revenge, Gretel & Hansel, Oxygen, Horns, Troy: Fall of a City). The soundtrack will be released digitally on December 11 and is now available for pre-order here. A CD and vinyl edition will also be available to order on Amazon within the next few days. A first track (The Swirl Ahead) is already available to stream/download now and can be checked out below. In Waves is directed by Phuong Mai Nguyen and features the voices of Will Sharpe, Stephanie Hsu, Johnny Young, Griffin Puatu and Alejandro Antonio Ruiz. The movie is based on AJ Dungo’s graphic novel of the same name and tells the story of two lovestruck teens who face a tragic twist of fate amid the sun-filled surf culture of SoCal, but find strength in friends and the ocean. The animated drama, which premiered at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, will be released in select U.S. theaters on November 27 before premiering on December 11 on Netflix.
