Prime Video’s “Spider-Noir”soundtrack will feature new music by composers Kris Bowers and Michael Dean Parsons. In addition to the score, actress Li Jun Li delivers a cover of “Dream a Little Dream of Me” and the original track, “The Devil You Know.”
The live-action series, which premieres on May 27, is based on the Marvel comics and stars Nicolas Cage as the shadowy Spider-Man variant. It follows an older web-slinger who is living in New York City during The Great Depression. Li plays nightclub singer Cat Hardy.
The soundtrack will also be digitally released on May 27. A 2-LP vinyl set will be released on Aug. 28 by Milan Records.
The album will also feature the series’ main title theme “Saving Grace,” performed by southern soul singer and songwriter Kirby and is produced by Oak Felder.
In a statement to Variety, Bowers said, “Showrunner and executive producer Oren Uziel and the team trusted us to shape this world through its music, and we shared an enthusiasm for using clear, memorable melodies to carry character and story. For Michael and me, ‘Spider-Noir’ was a rare chance to put everything we love about scoring to picture into a single show.”
Dean Parsons added, “‘Spider-Noir’ is the kind of musical opportunity a composer dreams about. It gave us the chance to not only write music that is emotional and thematic, but also to freely blend genres and sounds that wouldn’t normally coexist. The more we leaned into these juxtapositions – combining noir and superhero sensibilities, then layering in experimental synthesizers, electric guitars, and other modern textures – the more natural it all felt within this unique world.”
Bowers and Dean Parsons have co-composed music that draws from classic noir and the superhero canon to ground the score in melodic themes built to character and story. The score’s palette is grounded in orchestra with experimental electronics, theremin, electric guitar, percussion made from NYC street sounds, a broken piano, and a penny whistle.
