HBO’s latest hit series The Last of Us now officially has a soundtrack for its first season, a massive, 66-song compilation of all the music scoring the post-apocalyptic tale. Check it out below.

After working on the original The Last of Us video game, composer Gustavo Santaolalla returns for the HBO series, joined by fellow artist David Fleming. In an upcoming interview with Consequence, Santaolalla describes his approach to the soundtrack, saying, “The process of adapting, it was more in a way like craftwork than actually a new creation, because the themes were there, those things are there, like the characters, it wasn’t about creating a new job, it wasn’t about finding what is interesting. For example, in seeing how Pascal and Bella, they’re different than the actors that played the voices, but at the same time, they keep the soul of the characters intact.”

While the OST is mostly comprised of Santaolalla and Fleming’s compositions, fans will be excited to hear that the show’s version of Linda Ronstadt’s “Long Long Time” — sung by Nick Offerman in the breakout third episode — also appears on the album.

Music has been a key part of Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann’s already-renewed series, which stars Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey as survivors of a fungal plague that has turned most humans into zombie-like threats.
