Get Out (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

Get Out is the score album to the 2017 film of the same name directed by Jordan Peele. The film is scored by California-based Michael Abels, in his first feature composition. Prior working as a schoolteacher in the music department in California, Abels was recruited after Peele listened to one of his instrumental cue which blended a range of genres. The album had mostly used live instruments, as well as strings, harp and percussion, with some of them being sampled to create a much "creepier and darker score". He used Afro-American voices to represent the African ancestors who were affected by slavery, lynchings and other injustices, tying the protagonist which intended him to use the Swahili language and phrases in some cues, especially for the main title theme. The score was released by Back Lot Music on February 24, 2017 on the same date as the film's release. It was critically acclaimed, with praise for its composition, vocal direction and musical language. It won the Black Reel Award for Outstanding Original Score. The soundtrack was released in a 180-gram double disc vinyl record by Waxwork Records on July 13, 2018.
