Disney Releases ANDOR Season 2 Vol. 1 Soundtrack

Walt Disney Records has released Andor: Season 2 - Vol. 1 (Episodes 1-3) (Original Score), the first volume to the highly anticipated second season of Lucasfilm’s Emmy®-nominated original live-action series “Andor.”

The original score is by Emmy®-winning composer Brandon Roberts with original Andor themes by three-time Oscar®-nominated and Emmy®-winning composer Nicholas Britell. Andor: Season 2: Vol. 1 (Episodes 1-3)(Original Score) is now available on Spotify, Apple Music, and other digital platforms. The release will be followed by Andor: Season 2 - Vol. 2 (Episodes 4-6) (Original Score) composed by Brandon Roberts and Nicholas Britell, available May 2. Andor Season 2 - Vol. 3 (Episodes 7-9) and Andor Season 2 - Vol. 4 (Episodes 10-12) (Original Score) composed by Brandon Roberts with original Andor themes by Nicholas Britell are set for release on May 9 and May 16.

Roberts interpolated Britell’s themes from “Andor” into his score as well as created new themes. Creating new motifs that complement the pre-existing world of “Andor” and align to “Rogue One” was an interesting challenge. Roberts comments, “For Season 2, the story opens up, both timewise and in terms of scope. With so many new characters and new worlds, Tony (Gilroy) was adamant that I needed to create new thematic material for this world and Andor’s journey. I was also tasked with incorporating the genetic material from Season One, so the whole series feels like one unit. Just as the characters and the plot develop, so does the music.”

About “Andor” Season 2

Lucasfilm’s Emmy®-nominated thriller “Andor,” returns for its long-awaited conclusion on April 22.
