SOT: The Soundtrack

 

Featuring four instantly classic songs (you'll see) by veteran indie-folk/rock band For Algernon, and a stirring score by Shiny Red Nothing, the soundtrack to Ship Of Theseus is an aural adventure to accompany the main attraction. It's important to note that the album, however, is ordered for the listening experience, not to accompany the book necessarily.
