More about Smoke soundtrack

Inspired by true events and set in the hazy Pacific Northwest, Smoke explores the psychological effects of investigating horrific murders. The series, which was developed by Dennis Lehane, the showrunner of Black Bird, is not your average procedural. It looks at trauma, obsession, and the psychological toll that justice takes. The show's music, in addition to its excellent writing and acting, is crucial in establishing the mood and bolstering the emotional depth of each episode.

The music to Smoke is meticulously crafted, blending original scores with handpicked songs that complement the mood of each scene. Thom Yorke, the leader of Radiohead, created the mournful theme tune, "Dialing In," exclusively for the series and its spooky tone conveys the show's atmosphere of tension and discomfort. Danny Bensi and Saunder Jurriaans, the award-winning combo behind Ozark, The Outsider, and Enemy, also wrote the original music.

A variety of indie, alternative, and classic rock songs are used in each episode, giving significant plot points and a cinematic atmosphere. These are all of the songs that have been included thus far:

Episode 1 – “Smoke”

Dialing In – Thom Yorke (Theme Song)
I Just Want to Celebrate – Rare Earth

The soundtrack contributes to the emotional weight of the plot, giving each scene greater depth and impact. As the inquiry in Smoke progresses, the soundtrack keeps up, providing a somber and deep watching experience.
