VARÈSE SARABANDE RECORDS PRESENTS
CHUCK – ORIGINAL TELEVISION SOUNDTRACK
Featuring Original Music By Tim Jones
With Exclusive Premiere Tracks from World-Renowned Duo JEFFSTER!
(March 25, 2015 – Los Angeles, CA) – Varèse Sarabande Records will release CHUCK – Original Television Soundtrack digitally
and on CD April 7, 2015. The album features the film’s original score
by Tim Jones (Human Target, Cult), with three performances by Jeffster,
featuring Vik Sahay: “Take on Me”, “Fortunate Son,” and “Fat Bottom
Girls.” The digital version of the soundtrack will contain additional
score tracks and two bonus Jeffster songs, “Leaving on a Jet Plane” and
the hilarious “Mr. Roboto.”
“CHUCK
was really a hybrid of many different genres,” said Jones. “My
instructions were to bind them with a score that would bring together
all the disparate elements. Nearly every episode saw the introduction of
a new sound or feel to match the action. It was a great deal of fun.”
Tim Jones is a composer for film and television. While best known for his work on Chuck,
other network shows include Human Target and Cult. He recently finished
work on the feature documentary, The Abolitionists for executive
producer Gerald Molen. He majored in film scoring and graduated from the
Berklee College of Music in Boston. Film projects include Smokin’ Aces
2: Assassins’ Ball, The Death and Life of Bobby Z, Wicked Little Things,
Vampires: The Turning, and The Forsaken. He currently resides in Los
Angeles with his wife and two children.
CHUCK
was a beloved high-concept action comedy that followed Chuck Bartowski
(Zachary Levi) as the Buy More computer geek turned secret agent. When
Chuck unwittingly downloads a database of government information and
deadly fighting skills into his head, he becomes the CIA's most vital
secret. This sets Chuck on a path to become a full-fledged spy, assisted
by the stoic Colonel John Casey (Adam Baldwin), Chuck's best friend,
Morgan Grimes (Joshua Gomez), and the CIA's top agent - and now Chuck's
wife - Sarah Walker (Yvonne Strahovski). With the help of this unlikely
team and his unorthodox techniques, Chuck is ready to take Operation
Bartowski freelance. Featuring an amazing ensemble cast and action
unlike anything else on television, there is no mission too impossible
for CHUCK.
One of the fan favorite
storylines featured Buy More employees Jeff Barnes (Scott Krinsky) and
Lester Patel (Vik Sahay) as the cover band Jeffster. When talking about
the whirlwind that formed Jeffster, lead vocalist Sahay (Lester) said
“Well, initially, it came up as a wee subplot for me and Jeff, in us
wanting to play at Ellie's wedding. Once we had done a song or two, we
performed at Comic-Con. I feel like that really ‘made’ it for us.
Something happened there that is very hard to describe. Beauty and
mania!”
Now you can relive the Jeffster-mania, along with the your favorite moments from the show, with the CHUCK – Original Television Soundtrack, available digitally and on CD April 7, 2015.
