Milan Records, April 8, 2022, releases Super Pumped: The Battle For Uber (Music From The Showtime® Original Series) with music by Brendan Angelides. Available everywhere , the album features score music composed by Angelides for the first season of the new Showtime anthology series about the rise and fall of Uber’s founders. Starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Kyle Chandler and Uma Thurman, Super Pumped: The Battle For Uber premiered on Showtime this February 2022 and will air the final episode of season 1, April 10, 2022.

Of the soundtrack, composer Brendan Angelides says, “The rise and fall of Travis Kalanick is a modern day tragedy (in the classic sense). By recording percussion with car parts along with electronics, I wanted to combine a sense of tightly-wound manic tension with a perpetual chaos that a character like him creates.”

About Super Pumped: The Battle For Uber

Starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Kyle Chandler and Uma Thurman, Super Pumped: The Battle For Uber tells the story of one of Silicon Valley’s most successful and most destructive unicorns, Uber.

The season pivots on Travis Kalanick, Uber’s hard-charging CEO who was ultimately ousted in a boardroom coup, and his sometimes tumultuous relationship with his mentor Bill Gurley, the plainspoken, brilliant Texan venture capitalist who bets his sterling reputation on Uber’s success – and then has to live with the consequences.

Thurman stars as Arianna Huffington, the savvy businesswoman and co-founder of The Huffington Post, who was an Uber board member. The Showtime series depicts the roller-coaster ride of the upstart transportation company, embodying the highs and lows of Silicon Valley.

Even amid the radical upheaval generated within the global tech capital, Uber stands out as both a marvel and a cautionary tale, featuring internal and external battles that ripple with unpredictable consequences.

The first season is based on Mike Isaac’s bestselling book Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber. Brian Koppelman and David Levien (BILLIONS®, Rounders) and Beth Schacter (Soundtrack) executive produce, write and serve as showrunners on the series.

Super Pumped: The Battle For Uber is the first installment of the Super Pumped anthology series in which each season will explore a story that rocked the business world to its core and changed culture.
