Bong Joon-ho's 'Parasite' Soundtrack Is Coming to Vinyl

BY Brock ThiessenPublished Nov 21, 2019

Bong Joon-ho's Parasite easily stands as one of the year's most beloved films, so it's no surprise its accompanying soundtrack is now getting a fancied-up deluxe vinyl release.

Composed by Jung Jae Il, Parasite: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack will come to vinyl on January 31 via Sacred Bones.

According to Sacred Bones, here's what you can expect: "For the film's bracingly original score, Bong turned to Jung Jae Il, who brings the world of Parasite to life with plaintive piano and stirring strings."

Earlier this year, the soundtrack arrived digitally, and you can hear it below.

For better or worse, the Parasite soundtrack will come in a variety of vinyl variants. There is a "Green Grass" version (2,000 copies), "Peach" version (500 copies and a Sacred Bones mail-order exclusive), a "Galaxy" version (500 copies via Waxwork) and "Scholar's Rock" version (150 copies limited to the Sacred Bones Record society).

You can pre-order most of those versions over here.
