The star-studded lineup for the Moominvalley TV series soundtrack finally revealed – Tom Odell, MØ, First Aid Kit and Alma featured

 (Last updated:  )

Each of the thirteen episodes of the first season of the new Moominvalley TV series will include a featured track by one of the record label Sony Music's artists. The whole soundtrack will be released this spring, including 13 original recordings from a stellar line-up of artists including Tom Odell, MØ, First Aid Kit, Alma and many more.

The highly anticipated new Moominvalley family TV drama by Gutsy Animations will start airing in several countries this spring. One of the very special and well-thought-out characteristics of the new TV series is the way it sounds – especially through its beautiful soundtrack.

“It perfectly captures the sense of wonder and spirit of adventure so central to the world Tove created” says Marika Makaroff, the Creative Director and Executive Producer at Gutsy Animations.

The tracks will complement an original score composed by Finnish musicians Pekka Kuusisto, whose father composed with the author Tove Jansson in the 1970s and wrote the Finnish National Opera’s Moomin Opera in 1974, and Samuli Kosminen.
