Prime Video’s Spider Noir soundtrack will feature new music by composers Chris Bowers and Michael Dean Parsons. In addition to the score, actress Lee Jun Lee will perform a cover of “Dream a Little Dream of Me” and an original song, “The Devil You Know.”
The live-action series, which premieres on May 27, is based on Marvel Comics and stars Nicolas Cage as a shadowy variant of Spider-Man. The film follows an aging webslinger living in New York City during the Great Depression. Lee plays nightclub singer Cat Hardy.
The soundtrack will also be released digitally on May 27th. The 2-LP record set will be released by Milano Records on August 28th.
The album also includes the series’ main title theme, “Saving Grace,” sung by Southern soul singer and songwriter Kirby and produced by Oak Felder.
In a statement to Variety, Bowers said, “Showrunner and executive producer Oren Uziel and his team trusted us to shape this world through music and shared a passion for using clear, memorable melodies to convey characters and stories. For Michael and me, ‘Spider Noir’ was a rare opportunity to pack everything we love about filmed into a single show.”
Dean Parsons added, “‘Spider Noir’ is the kind of musical opportunity a composer dreams of. It gave us the opportunity not only to write emotional and thematic music, but also to freely blend genres and sounds that don’t normally coexist. The more we leaned into these juxtapositions, combining noir and superhero sensibilities and layering in experimental synthesizers, electric guitars, and other modern textures, the more natural everything felt.” In this unique worldview. ”
Bowers and Dean Parsons co-wrote the music, which drew from the classic noir and superhero canon, based on melodic themes built on character and story. The score’s palette is based on experimental electronics, theremin, electric guitar, percussion made from New York street sounds, a broken piano, and an orchestra using penny whistles.
