Lakeshore Records and Invada Records 
are releasing Jo Nesbo’s Detective Hole—Original Series Soundtrack digitally today, April 24. The score was composed and recorded by internationally renowned musician Nick Cave, alongside long-time collaborator Warren Ellis. Cave and Ellis’ score provides a singularly dark and intense backdrop to the series based on the popular detective Harry Hole by author, creator and series executive producer Jo Nesbø. The album is available digitally in the Americas on Lakeshore Records and the rest of the world via Invada Records. With over 60 million books sold worldwide – including a staggering 5.6 million in Norway alone (more than the nation’s population!) – Nesbø’s novels have enthralled readers and defined the crime genre. Produced by Working Title, Jo Nesbo’s Detective Hole is streaming now on Netflix.
The score is the latest collaboration between Cave and Ellis following 2025’s The Death of Bunny Munro.
Notes Cave: “We loved working on this adaptation – Harry Hole’s murky, morally complex world has been brought to life in all its darkly brutal glory, and it was an honour to work with the legendary Jo Nesbø.”
Adds Nesbø: “Nick Cave and Warren Ellis are masters at conjuring mood and tension, and their music is the ideal companion to Harry Hole’s brooding, enigmatic journey through the shadows of Oslo. Their music has always been a soundtrack to my writing process. To have them now scoring the world of Harry Hole feels both surreal and absolutely right.”

ABOUT JO NESBO’S DETECTIVE HOLE:
Created by one of the greatest storytellers in crime fiction, Jo Nesbo’s Detective Hole is a whodunnit serial killer mystery led by famed anti-hero Harry Hole. Underneath the surface, this series is a nuanced character drama about two police officers – and supposed colleagues – operating on opposite sides of the law. Throughout the season, Harry goes head-to-head with his long-time adversary and corrupt detective Tom Waaler. Harry is a brilliant but tormented homicide detective who struggles with his demons. As the two navigate the blurred ethical lines of the criminal justice system, Harry must do all he can to catch a serial killer and bring Waaler to justice before it is too late.
