Netflix’s latest crime comedy, Big Mistakes, arrives with a soundtrack that’s just as irreverent and sharp as the show itself. Created by Dan Levy (Schitt’s Creek) and Rachel Sennott (I Love LA), and starring Levy alongside Taylor Ortega, Laurie Metcalf, and a strong supporting ensemble, the series follows two hilariously incompetent siblings who stumble their way into the world of organized crime. From its very first scene, Big Mistakes establishes that its music will be a character unto itself — raw, punchy, and full of personality.
The original score is a bold collaboration between Canadian electroclash icon Peaches (Merrill Nisker) and Grammy Award-winning composer Nora Kroll-Rosenbaum. Together, they deliver a soundtrack unlike anything else in Netflix’s catalog this year — one that blends punk-electronic energy with precise dramatic scoring.

Who Composed the Big Mistakes Soundtrack?
Peaches (Merrill Nisker)
Peaches, born Merrill Beth Nisker in Toronto, Ontario, is one of the defining voices of the electroclash movement. A Toronto-born, Berlin-based musician and performance artist, she built her reputation on unapologetically explicit, gender-defiant electronic music that challenged norms in ways few artists dared.
Before becoming Peaches, Nisker worked as a music and drama teacher in Toronto. She launched her recording career in the 1990s, first as part of the folk trio Mermaid Cafe and later through her debut solo album Fancypants Hoodlum (1995). After relocating to Berlin and signing with the Kitty-Yo label, she unleashed The Teaches of Peaches in 2000 — a raw, minimalist electro-punk breakthrough that produced her most iconic song, “Fuck the Pain Away.”
Her subsequent studio albums — Fatherfucker (2003), Impeach My Bush (2006), I Feel Cream (2009), and Rub (2015) — cemented her status as a cult icon. Peaches produces her own records, plays her own instruments, and programs her own electronic beats. Her music has appeared in films like Mean Girls, Lost in Translation, and Jackass: Number Two, and on TV shows including The Boys, The Handmaid’s Tale, True Blood, and 30 Rock.
Big Mistakes marks Peaches’ debut as a television series composer — a new frontier for the artist. In her own words about the experience, working with Dan Levy gave her a way to “infuse my identity without my voice, just through the actual music.” She noted that the work was “challenging and great, and also a little out of my comfort zone,” while acknowledging Levy’s creative guidance throughout.

Nora Kroll-Rosenbaum
Nora Kroll-Rosenbaum is a Grammy Award-winning, Juilliard-trained composer born in New York City. She has built a distinguished career scoring films and television across documentary, animation, drama, and now comedy — earning recognition at Sundance, Cannes, Tribeca, and beyond.
Her feature film credits include Catherine Hardwicke’s Don’t Look Deeper, Prisoner’s Daughter, Stockholm Pennsylvania (featuring Saoirse Ronan), Bird Karma for DreamWorks Animation, Regarding Susan Sontag for HBO, and Tell It Like a Woman, among many others. She co-scored Marvel’s What If…? (Seasons 2 and 3) and Marvel Zombies alongside her wife, composer Laura Karpman. The pair also collaborated on the What If…? – An Immersive Story experience.
Beyond screen composition, Kroll-Rosenbaum has received commissions from the London Symphony Chorus, the San Francisco Symphony, and the Seattle Symphony. She is an advisor to the Sundance Institute and serves on the board of the Alliance for Women Film Composers.
Big Mistakes sees Kroll-Rosenbaum bring her gift for dramatic, emotionally precise scoring into the world of crime comedy — pairing her compositional range with Peaches’ raw punk-electronic identity to create something genuinely distinctive.

Big Mistakes Score Highlights
“Criminal” opens the album with an immediate statement of intent — sharp, propulsive, and laced with the kind of anarchic energy that defines the whole score. At 1:35, it wastes no time establishing the show’s chaotic tone.
“Dig” is the longest purely tension-driven cue on the album at 1:57, suggesting escalating stakes and the kind of slow-burn dread that punctuates the series’ more dangerous moments.
“Countdown” clocks in at 2:09 and stands out as one of the score’s most dramatically ambitious pieces — building steadily in a way that mirrors the show’s narrative momentum as situations spiral out of control.
“The Closet” is the longest track on the album at 2:39, and its extended runtime hints at a particularly pivotal scene in the series — a piece that gives Kroll-Rosenbaum’s more cinematic instincts room to breathe alongside Peaches’ electroclash foundation.
“Big Mistakes” — the title track cue at 1:19 — serves as the thematic centerpiece of the album, distilling the show’s identity into a single compact statement.
“To Family!” closes the album at just 0:48, functioning as a sardonic epilogue — brief, wry, and perfectly in keeping with the show’s comedic sensibility.
