Hunt For The Wilderpeople (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

Arriving just in time for the film’s 10‑year anniversary, we're treated to the official soundtrack to Taika Waititi’s Hunt for the Wilderpeople. The score comes from Moniker, Aotearoa's own trio of Luke Buda, Samuel Flynn Scott and Conrad Wedde. The same trio behind The Phoenix Foundation, and the same creative force responsible for multiple film and television scores; Wilderpeople remains among their most iconic, much like the film itself. - Flying Out

Impressed is proud to present the Official Soundtrack from the Motion Picture, Taika Waititi’s 'Hunt for the Wilderpeople'.

This is the first time the soundtrack has been pressed to vinyl, and lands in time for the film’s 10th anniversary.

The score was composed by Moniker, a New Zealand music project rooted in psychedelic pop and soundtrack composition, originating from Wellington. While there are multiple artists who go by the name Moniker worldwide, the New Zealand incarnation refers specifically to the trio of Luke Buda, Samuel Flynn Scott, and Conrad Wedde, who have multiple composed scores for films and television – and this, for Taika Waititi’s Hunt for the Wilderpeople, was their most notable.

Their work blends lush, melodic psychedelia with cinematic sensibilities, reflecting both their indie pop roots and a refined knack for atmospheric storytelling through music. where their music helped shape the film’s unique emotional balance between humour, tenderness, and adventure. The score mirrors the landscape of Aotearoa itself — vast, playful, occasionally melancholic, and full of unexpected beauty. Moniker’s compositions often carry a distinctly New Zealand sensibility, blending gentle psychedelia, folk influences, and lush orchestration in a way that feels grounded yet transportive.

Limited to 500 copies only and pressed on a heavyweight green jade marble. Includes the original cover art, and a limited edition iconic blue Swanndri print obi strip, numbered to 500.
