Lakeshore Records has released Silk Road—Original Motion Picture Soundtrack featuring music by Mondo Boys (Phoenix Forgotten, The Girlfriend Experience), available now digitally! AKA Mike Griffin and Mike Schanzlin, Mondo Boys have created atmospheric and tension-filled electronic themes reflecting the ever-darker journeys of the two main characters.

The Lionsgate film written and directed by Tiller Rusell and starring Jason Clarke, Nick Robinson, Katie Aselton, Jimmi Simpson, Daniel David Stewart, Darrell Britt-Gibson, Lexi Rabe, Will Ropp, with Paul Walter Hauser, and Alexandra Shipp will be available on digital

Inspired by larger-than-life actual events, this riveting crime thriller follows the rise and fall of Silk Road, the infamous darknet site that sent a seismic shock through the World Wide Web. Young, idealistic, and driven to succeed, Ross Ulbricht (Nick Robinson) creates the internet’s first unregulated marketplace: Silk Road.

But when it becomes a multimillion-dollar pipeline for illicit drugs, Ross is set on a collision course with Rick Bowden (Jason Clarke), a disreputable and dangerously unpredictable DEA agent, who will use any means necessary to take him down.

Mondo Boys note: “The Director, Tiller Russell, had this vision of the two main characters being rockets headed right for each other. So right away we had two different musical engines that we wanted to get their own groove, then interact, overlap, and finally just explode together”
