ABKCO Music & Record release the original soundtrack to Isle of Dogs. The album includes Academy Award winning composer Alexandre Desplat’s original score, compositions from acclaimed Japanese films Seven Samurai and Drunken Angel, The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band’s brand of American psychedelia, and The Sauter-Finegan Orchestra’s eccentric euphonies...

The soundtrack to Isle of Dogs is a strange one and, I think it's fair to say, one that will only really be truly appreciated by fans of the movie who were moved by the music. For me, it's a little disjointed as a standalone listening experience.

Alexandre Desplat’s score is a little lacklustre and the tracks by other artists didn't really excite me. It was too dull and lifeless...
