Woodkid For Death Stranding 2: On The Beach (OST) (Clear Transparent Vinyl) [2LP] 

With his album "Woodkid For Death Stranding 2: On The Beach" for Hideo Kojima's successful game, Woodkid takes the idea of game music to a new level. The songs are inspired by Kojima's storytelling, his characters and the world of Death Stranding - and unfold as an independent work full of depth, contrasts and atmosphere.

Woodkid, real name Yoann Lemoine, is a French singer and composer. With his stylistically confident combination of orchestral drama, electronic precision and emotional depth, he has made a name for himself internationally in the world of music and film - both as a musician and as a video producer for artists such as Rihanna, Lana Del Rey, Pharrell Williams and Harry Styles. His music has been used for numerous film, series and video game productions (Arcane, Assassin's Creed, The Umbrella Academy). He has been nominated several times for Grammy and MTV awards for his work, and his single "Run Boy Run" has been streamed well over five hundred million times. Woodkid is also present in the fashion world - for example with music for the Louis Vuitton and Dior shows.

Over the course of three years, Woodkid worked closely with Kojima and the team at Kojima Productions to create music that goes far beyond classic soundtracks. "Every song, every theme was composed in countless variations and layers," explains Woodkid. The result is an album that combines cinematic orchestral arrangements with electronic soundscapes and haunting vocal lines.

"Death Stranding 2: On The Beach" is the new work by Hideo Kojima, one of the most visionary minds in the gaming world. As a sequel to the multi-award-winning first installment, which reached over 20 million players worldwide, the game takes the themes of connection, isolation and responsibility into a new narrative dimension. The game also features a top-class cast - including Norman Reedus, Léa Seydoux, Troy Baker, Elle Fanning and Shioli Kutsuna - and a story inspired by the global experiences of recent years.
