Milan Records releases Outer Range (Amazon Original Series Soundtrack) by composers Danny Bensi and Saunder Jurriaans. The album features music composed by the duo for Prime Video’s latest Original series starring Oscar®-nominee Josh Brolin.
Bensi and Jurriaans utilize their extensive experience (Ozark, Fear The Walking Dead, Martha Marcy May Marlene) to create a soundscape befitting the Western mystery thriller.

The first season of Outer Range consists of eight episodes, with two episodes premiering each Friday exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.
The season culminates with the powerful penultimate and finale episodes premiering Friday, May 6, only on Prime Video.

Of the soundtrack, composers Danny Bensi and Saunder Jurriaans say, “Composing the music for Outer Range was an incredible opportunity for us to spread our creative wings, melding all the strange and wonderful things we’ve learned in our musical careers.

The team was so open and encouraging, there was a real sense of trust which gave us a confidence to push the boundaries wherever we could. The music of the show grows throughout the series from strange, minimal, manipulated sounds and small electro-organic groups to sweeping string orchestras, choirs and epic electronic soundscapes.
While the music illustrates the grand fantastical mysteries of the story, it also reflects a dark, quirky sense of humor.”

Outer Range

Outer Range centers on Royal Abbott (Josh Brolin), a rancher fighting for his land and family, who discovers an unfathomable mystery at the edge of Wyoming's wilderness. A thrilling Western family saga with hints of wry humor and supernatural mystery, Outer Range examines how we grapple with the unknown.

At the onset of the series, the Abbotts are coping with the disappearance of daughter-in-law Rebecca. They are pushed further to the brink when the Tillersons (the gaudy owners of the neighboring profit-driven ranch) make a play for their land.
An untimely death in the community sets off a chain of tension-filled events, and seemingly small-town, soil-bound troubles come to a head with the arrival of a mysterious black void in the Abbotts’ west pasture.
Wild revelations unfold as Royal fights to protect his family; through his eyes, we begin to see how time contains secrets held in the past and unsettling mysteries foreshadowed.

Led by Oscar-nominee Josh Brolin (Dune), Outer Range features an ensemble cast of award-winning and breakout talent, including Imogen Poots (I Know This Much Is True), Lili Taylor (Perry Mason), Tamara Podemski (Four Sheets to the Wind), Lewis Pullman (Top Gun: Maverick), Tom Pelphrey (Ozark), Noah Reid (Schitt’s Creek), Shaun Sipos (Krypton), Isabel Arraiza (The Little Things), Olive Abercrombie (The Haunting of Hill House), and Will Patton (Yellowstone).

Outer Range comes from creator and executive producer Brian Watkins, with executive producers Zev Borow, Heather Rae, Josh Brolin, Robin Sweet, Lawrence Trilling, Amy Seimetz, Tony Krantz, and Plan B Entertainment for Amazon Studios. Executive producers for Plan B Entertainment are Dede Gardner, Jeremy Kleiner, and Brad Pitt.
