Disney+ Drops 'ANDOR: Volume Two' Soundtrack

Walt Disney Records releases the digital soundtrack from Lucasfilm's original live-action series "Andor."

The Andor: Volume 2 (Episodes 5-8) (Original Score) digital album features scores composed and produced by three-time Oscar®-nominated and Emmy®-winning composer Nicholas Britell and is available now. "Andor" is streaming exclusively on Disney+.

The "Andor" series explores a new perspective from the Star Wars galaxy, focusing on Cassian Andor's (Luna/">Diego Luna) journey to discover the difference he can make. The series brings forward the tale of the burgeoning rebellion against the Empire and how people and planets became involved.

It's an era filled with danger, deception and intrigue where Cassian will embark on the path that is destined to turn him into a rebel hero. The original live action series is created by Tony Gilroy and executive produced by Kathleen Kennedy, Tony Gilroy, Sanne Wohlenberg, Luna/">Diego Luna and Michelle Rejwan.

Britell says, "I'm very excited to share the original score from Episodes 5-8 in Volume 2, which drops today. As 'Andor' the show evolves, so does the music. Exploring the many different sounds - both orchestral, and those with electronic/synthesizer textures - has been such a thrill. I could not be more happy to be a part of this amazing journey with Tony Gilroy, Lucasfilm, and our incredible cast and crew."
