NATHAN JOHNSON - Wake Up Dead Man (Original Score) [w/ Cards + Photo] - 2LP - Vinyl [FEB 27]

2LP - Limited Edition Double Black Vinyl with Cards and Photo (artwork by Randy Ortiz and packaging by Mo Shafeek). 

• Original score for Wake Up Dead Man, the third Benoit Blanc mystery directed by Rian Johnson.

• Dark, gothic soundtrack by Nathan Johnson featuring haunting string arrangements and emotional depth.

• Deluxe limited edition vinyl with artwork by Randy Ortiz and packaging by Mo Shafeek.

Mutant, in partnership with Cut Narrative and Netflix, proudly presents Nathan Johnson’s incredible score to Rian Johnson’s third Benoit Blanc mystery, Wake Up Dead Man.

The darkest entry in the series to date, the score marks a striking shift from the globe-trotting brightness of Glass Onion toward a gothic, beautifully haunted sound. Nathan Johnson’s signature string writing pulls listeners into the heart of darkness at Our Lady of Perpetual Fortitude, a troubled church in upstate New York steeped in mystery and reckoning.

Emotionally powerful without ever becoming dour, the music balances beauty and abrasion, tension and release. From atonal, scraping violins to moments of aching purity, the score reflects the moral complexity and haunted souls at the centre of the story. It stands as a bold continuation of one of the most tonally distinct murder mystery franchises in modern cinema.

This deluxe limited edition vinyl release features original artwork by Randy Ortiz, additional artwork by Zach Johnson, and packaging by Mo Shafeek, who previously worked on Knives Out, Glass Onion, and Looper. An essential addition for soundtrack collectors and fans of the Benoit Blanc series.
