Screen Rant has the honor of exclusively revealing the cover art and key details for Robin Robin—Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, which will be available to own November 18 through Lakeshore Records. The animated Netflix film premiered last year, winning high praise for Aardman Animation's impeccable stop-motion visuals. Following a young robin raised by a family of mice, Robin Robin boasted a star-studded cast that includes Richard E. Grant as Magpie, Gillian Anderson as Cat, Adeel Akhtar as the mouse patriarch, and Bronte Carmichael as the titular robin.

The Bookshop Band crafted the sublime music for Robin Robin, though several of the songs were co-written by the directors, Dan Ojari and Mikey Please. Ben Please and Beth Porter make up the musical duo, whose lighthearted and airy songs help bring the beautiful stop-motion world created by Aardman Animation to life. Songwriters Please and Porter first joined forces in 2010, a product of an unusual artistic collaboration with an independent bookshop in the UK called Mr. B’s Emporium of Reading Delights. The Bookshop Band would write songs inspired by novels curated by the bookshop, then perform them before the author and a small audience. They have since grown to include several bookstores across the UK, Ireland, and even the United States.
