Description

UPGRADE SOUL is an award-winning, digital graphic novel featuring an original score by celebrated experimental musician/composer Alexis Gideon. Every bit as dense and strange as the book that inspired it, Gideon’s soundtrack mines jazz, hip hop, and giallo influences to sculpt a gloriously unpredictable soundscape punctuated alternately by passages of head-bopping bliss and skin-crawling tension.

The DELUXE VINYL version is LIMITED to 100 copies worldwide and realizes the artist’s vision with globby gooey red inside translucent orange vinyl, and includes a signed print by Ezra Claytan Daniels, exclusive to this edition. Upgrade Soul will also be available in an unlimited black vinyl edition. Either version can be bundled with the Eisner-nominated graphic novel, published by Lion Forge, for a discount price, available exclusively online direct from FPE Records.
