Lakeshore Records and Fifth Season
are set to release His & Hers—Soundtrack from the Netflix Series today, January 9, featuring music by Emmy winning composer Mac Quayle (Mr. Robot). Quayle’s synth work propels the orchestral score creating a taut, ominous tension that augments the detective thriller. The new Netflix limited series starring Tessa Thompson and Jon Bernthal is now streaming.
In the sweltering heat of Atlanta, Anna (Thompson) lives in haunted reclusion, fading away from her friends and career as a news anchor. But when she overhears talk about a murder in Dahlonega — the sleepy north Georgia town where she grew up — Anna is snapped back to life, pouncing on the case and searching for answers. Detective Jack Harper (Bernthal) is strangely suspicious of her involvement, chasing her into the crosshairs of his own investigation.
Notes Quayle: “My intention was that the score should feel like a minimal pulse under the story—often subtle, sometimes obvious, and constantly suggesting that something is being hidden. Using mostly organic instruments, including strings, woodwinds, brass, guitar and percussion, I designed the main themes to function like a hidden narrator, quietly revealing the plot. “
