Whiplash: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Vinyl LP

Critically acclaimed soundtrack to Whiplash on vinyl. Justin Hurwitz and Tim Simonec created the perfect score for a film about a jazz drummer trying to reach the top. The soundtrack is obviously filled with plenty of highly percussive jazz in the big band style, but there are some slower and softer numbers mixed in to change it up. An excellent listen on its own, but even better within the context of (the also excellent) film. 18 tracks in all.
