Now that #ElCamino has been released, the press embargo is over & I can start sharing some interviews I’ve done recently for those who are interested. SPOILERS, of course, if you have yet to see the film.
I spoke with Jennifer Wood for @vulture

To celebrate tonight’s sumptuously insane series finale of Preacher we’ve put out a release of some of my favorite score from the series spanning all 4 seasons. It is available NOW to stream or buy on most digital platforms. It has been a tremendous honor to work on this show — there is simply nothing else like it… https://smarturl.it/Preacher_Sdtk
El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie is coming this October…. and in addition to being available on Netflix it will also be in select theaters around the US for a very brief run. I just got this link and downtown Los Angeles is pretty much already sold out. But if you are interested to see it in a theater – and I recommend it if you can — try this link ASAP!
I’m told that tonight’s new episode of Better Call Saul marks the 100th episode of the Breaking Bad/ Better Call Saul universe, which feels like a good moment to make my final special announcement related to our 10th anniversary celebrations that have been going on all year.
I’m pleased to announce that with lots of help and dedication from the folks at Sony (looking at you Tony Scudellari) and Madison Gate Records we are releasing a truly comprehensive collection of my score from Breaking Bad. Yes, everything ever released. Includes all the early stuff from the original song and score CD, everything from volumes 1 and 2, plus all the extras that came in the “greatest hits” compilation from Comic Con this year. For those that always ask, no, there is nothing left in the vault. And I don’t imagine there will ever be anything more to come from the original series.
This release is a vinyl only, limited edition, 4 disc set with all of my notes from the previous releases wrapped up in some very clever comic-book inspired packaging…and of course, on blue vinyl. It will be available in a few days, but can be pre-ordered right now:
For those that have been waiting and asking me — this is the one – don’t miss out. Thanks to everyone who helped it all come together… and a final happy 10th anniversary to Breaking Bad!
And don’t miss the final episodes of Better Call Saul season 4, which are absolutely magnificent.
A close up look at the new Breaking Bad vinyl release in celebration of our 10th anniversary. I picked out some favorites and threw in a couple of new tidbits as well… These will be for sale next week at Comic-Con and are available for pre-order at FYE now. Thanks so much for everyone involved, especially at Madison Gate Records and Spacelab9 for helping it look and sound so great. And big thanks to my man James Saez for the help on the 10th anniversary remix –

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the airing of the first season of Breaking Bad, and among other celebrations there will be a reunion of sorts next week at Comic-Con in San Diego. I will be there for the event, and also there to support both Better Call Saul and Preacher. I’m also pleased to announce that we will be releasing a special edition vinyl of my score from Breaking Bad beginning at Comic-Con which is a collection of some favorites from back in the day, and of course a few new things. More info on that at the bottom of this Entertainment Weekly article, and I’ll post a pre-order link shortly. Hope to see many of you there the end of next week –
For me the best validation of hard work is having it appreciated by the very peers that are my daily inspiration… who push me to be better at what I do. The ones who understand just how challenging it can be. Thank you fellow @ASCAP members for last night’s unexpected and humbling honor… especially given the strength of my fellow nominees and all of the amazing work being done. Finally – much love to all the wonderfully talented people that I get to work with every day on Better Call Saul, The Blacklist, Preacher, and more who bring these shows to life and make my career possible. Thank you! 2017 ASCAP Composer’s Choice – TV Composer of the Year.
Tonight, unbelievably, marks the airing of the 100th episode of The Blacklist. An incredible achievement that is going to be an increasingly rare feat. Congratulations to Jon Bokenkamp and our entire team… and here’s to 100 more! https://variety.com/2018/tv/features/the-blacklist-100th-episode-heist-walk-down-memory-lane-1202663933/?fbclid=IwAR1FxpWKpqhRvBOvY7V5-Ls4_ksYfYZpDfQZVdGsaNQg9kTbvrr5TcBvJqI
Back in the studio today after the holidays and some time off to celebrate The Disaster Artist and wishing everyone a belated Happy New Year! It’s hard to believe, but 2018 marks the 10 year anniversary of the airing of the pilot episode of Breaking Bad. AMC has been running a marathon of the show on the weekends and we’ve got a bunch of special commemorative things planned over the course of the year. And of course Better Call Saul has begun production on season 4 and we look forward to bringing that to you later this year as well. I’ll post all of the 10th anniversary info here as soon as I hear about it. Here’s to a year of good health and sanity for all.
