Lakeshore Records released The’ 
Burbs—Original Series Soundtrack on February 6, with an original score by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Michael Abels (Get Out, Nope), and composer Robert Wallace (The Acolyte). Abels’ and Wallace’s lively score is both mischievous in accentuating the comic moments, and joltingly sinister when the tone of the series turns dark. The Peacock Original Series debuted all eight episodes on Sunday, February 8.
The ‘Burbs follows a young couple who have reluctantly relocated to the husband’s childhood home. Their world is upended when a new neighbor moves in across the street, bringing old secrets of the cul-de-sac to light, and new deadly threats shatter the illusion of their quiet little neighborhood
Notes Abels and Wallace: “With The ‘Burbs, we set out to playfully blends modern suburban normalcy and creeping paranoia using sly, suspenseful themes to portray a quiet neighborhood taking on nightmarish overtones when suspicion takes hold. Lighthearted rhythms and exaggerated flourishes underline the series’ dark comedy, making everyday actions feel absurdly dramatic. Moments of eerie tension remind the viewer that beneath the humor lies an emerging mystery — possibly a dangerous one.”
