Lakeshore Records is set to release
Gremlins: The Wild Batch—Original Series Soundtrack featuring original music from the second season by Emmyâ nominated composer Sherri Chung (Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai), digitally today, July 25. Chung’s soaring orchestrations have a propulsive energy that perfectly enhances the adventures of the universally loved characters. The series produced by Amblin Television ad Warner Bros. Animation is streaming now on HBO Max.
Taking place one year after the events of season one, GREMLINS: THE WILD BATCH follows Gizmo, Sam, and Elle as they travel from their home in Shanghai to San Francisco, bringing even more magic, mystery and Mogwai mayhem. Hot on the trail of a new brood of evil Mogwai, our heroes journey deep into the American West, coming up against new supernatural creatures and picking up a few mysterious characters along the way.
Notes Chung: “Growing up on Amblin films and the scores of Jerry Goldsmith, Alan Silvestri, Danny Elfman and John Williams, I dreamed of storytelling through music in the elevated way these masters did. So, I was ecstatic to join the animated Gremlins world, though also pretty intimidated. But working with Amblin, show creator Tze Chun and showrunner Brendan Hay quickly became an inspiring collaboration, as their vision and direction to dive into the heart of these characters and their epic adventures allowed me to artistically explore and experiment in incredibly fun ways.
Composing for this iconic franchise has been a career highlight and a truly fulfilling experience far greater than my kid self could have ever imagined!”
