Kubo and the Two Strings (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

Kubo and the Two Strings is the soundtrack album to the 2016 film of the same name. The album featured original score composed by Italian composer Dario Marianelli, with a cover rendition of The Beatles-band member George Harrison's "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" performed by Regina Spektor. The score consisted of traditional Japanese music blended with Western and Eastern sounds, was recorded using ethnic instruments from Japan, in addition to modern instruments and orchestra, in order to create that feel. The score was released on August 5, 2016, by Warner Records. It received critical acclaim with praise directed on Marianelli's compositions and called it as "one of the best film scores of his career". The score itself was considered as "one of the best film scores of 2016", despite failing to receive nomination for Original Score category, at the major award ceremonies, including Academy, Golden Globe and BAFTA. In October 2016, Mondo released a vinyl edition of the soundtrack — 2LP-disc sets, featuring the tracks pressed on a 180-gram coloured vinyl and a special artwork based on the film. It was later re-issued in 2018.
