Lakeshore Records  released The\u2019 \"\"<\/a>Burbs\u2014Original 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\u2019 and Wallace\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The ‘Burbs follows a young couple who have reluctantly relocated to the husband\u2019s 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<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Notes Abels and Wallace: \u201cWith 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\u2019 dark comedy, making everyday actions feel absurdly dramatic. Moments of eerie tension remind the viewer that beneath the humor lies an emerging mystery \u2014 possibly a dangerous one.\u201d<\/p>\n
