VINYL RELEASE
KPop Demon Hunters (Soundtrack from the Netflix Film) [LP]
The vinyl version available to order online now. Amazon is selling an exclusive violet colorway of the LP here. You can also find it online at Walmart. Both versions of the “KPop Demon Hunters” vinyl include a fold-out poster and one of three collectible photocards (issued at random).
The film — which recently got a limited theatrical release — follows HUNTR/X — three idols who balance global stardom and use music to slay their foes and protect their adoring fans. The soundtrack includes “How It’s Done,” which plays during the film’s opening battle scene, and “Golden,” a mid-film performance that doubles as the group’s emotional anchor. The Saja Boys’ “Soda Pop” appears during a PR showdown sequence and takes cues from real-world K-pop aesthetics with a darker lyrical subtext.
Other songs include “Free,” a slower duet that underscores rising tension within the group; “Your Idol,” a track from the Saja Boys that mirrors the film’s commentary on parasocial fandom; and “What It Sounds Like,” which plays during the film’s final act. “Takedown,” the film’s key fight anthem, appears in two versions—one by HUNTR/X and a remix by TWICE members Jeongyeon, Jihyo, and Chaeyoung, which was released as the lead single.
