OF MONSTERS AND MEN + THE BEATLES

Of Monsters And Men will be covering the Beatles’ song “Eleanor Rigby” on Netflix’s new series “Beat Bugs”. In the original song, none of the Beatles’ play instruments but George Harrison and John Lennon do contribute harmony vocals (to accompany Paul McCartney) along with a classical string ensemble composed by producer George Martin. (This might give insight on how OMAM might be doing the song ;))

A 27-track two-disc soundtrack album for the first season will be released exclusively to Apple Music the day of the show’s Aug. 3 premiere. The first season soundtrack, plus a “Best Of” compilation of seasons 1 and 2, will be released on CD on Nov. 4. The full soundtrack for the show’s second season will be released in November 2016. More details on the second season soundtrack will be shared in the future, Netflix said.
