Soundwaves: Out Now- Dept. Q Soundtrack From The Netflix Series With Music From 3x Emmy-winner Carlos Rafael Rivera

Posted on 2025/05/30 by James

The Soundtrack from the Netflix Series Dept. Q, composed by 3x Emmy-winner Carlos Rafael Rivera (The Queen’s Gambit, Godless), is now available on all major digital platforms, launching in tandem with the Netflix premiere of the highly anticipated crime drama. Reuniting with acclaimed filmmaker Scott Frank, Rivera crafts a propulsive score that anchors the show’s brooding atmosphere and emotional depth.

Rivera says, “As we were getting started on Dept. Q, Scott sent me a playlist featuring bands like Flogging Molly, The Tartan Rockers, and Dropkick Murphys. There was an aggression and muscularity in that music that Scott wanted translated into our story. Alongside that, we have our main character, DCI Carl Morck – a man whose life is in free fall – so the melody of the main title keeps descending.

It made perfect sense to connect all these ideas into what became the main title of Dept. Q.
