Presenting Johnny Jewel's 'The Hacker' From 'Ghost In The Shell'
By: Caryn Robbins Mar. 24, 2017

Johnny Jewel's composition "The Hacker" begins with portentous ticking punctuated by electronic swells as it rises towards a cinematic break that's as stunning as it is scintillating. Today (March 24), the track which appears on Music Inspired By The Motion Picture Ghost In The Shell [Paramount Pictures via Kobalt Music Recordings]--due out on March 31--is now available with the album's pre-order at: https://ghostintheshell.lnk.to/album

When terrorism reaches a new level that includes the ability to hack into people's minds and control them, Major is uniquely qualified to stop it. As she prepares to face a new enemy, Major discovers that she has been lied to: her life was not saved, it was stolen.
