While we wait to see if Widow’s Bay wins any more Emmys next week, Mutant has a special treat for fans. Polygon reports that the company has partnered with Apple TV and Milan Records to press the first season’s soundtrack on vinyl, immortalizing David Fleming’s Emmy-winning score on “sea hag” colored wax.
The score is available for pre-order on three unique formats. Fans can grab it on CD, which runs for $15 USD, or a double LP vinyl, which comes on swirled blue and green discs and features liner notes from creator Katie Dippold and Fleming, retailing for $45 USD.
If you really want to go all out, Mutant is also offering a collector’s edition version of the score, which comes with the double LP and some special Widow’s Bay-themed goodies, including a 20-page reproduction of Patricia’s “Your Turn” books, an invitation to Sunset Cocktails, a 12” x 20” reproduction of the “cannibalism in god’s house” newspaper, letterhead from the office of Mayor Tom Loftis, and a reproduction of the “Run” game Tom finds in the island’s only hotel.
“We are thrilled to be releasing Widow’s Bay across three physical formats,” Mutant’s Spencer Hickman told Polygon. “Katie Dippold gifted us a living, breathing world that was meticulously mapped out, and David’s score is so beautiful and strange, making our job an absolute breeze. It was an incredible thrill to work on this project and to help bring the next Martha’s Vineyard to life for physical media fans. Working on projects like this gives us life.”
Widow’s Bay has already won eight Creative Arts Emmys, including Outstanding Music, Casting, Cinematography, Production Design, and Guest Actress for Betty Gilpin. It’s nominated for six Primetime Emmys at Monday’s ceremony, including Best Comedy Series and Best Lead Actor, Supporting Actor, and Supporting Actress for stars Matthew Rhys, Stephen Root, and Kate O’Flynn. Once again, the Television Academy is copying the Chainsaw Awards.
All three versions of the Widow’s Bay soundtrack are available for pre-order now on Mutant’s website.
