MobLand Score Highlights
Shake Hands is the opening track and the first piece previewed ahead of the album’s release. It sets the brooding tone for everything that follows.
Eye for an Eye was also shared as an early preview. At 3:12, it is one of the longest cues and builds on the same synth and string textures.
The Wake is the longest track at 3:21. Its title suggests a funeral setting, though the album does not link it to a specific scene.
Several tracks are named after characters: Harry, Conrad, Maeve, Kevin, and Richie. These likely work as character themes, though that pairing is our own reading of the titles.
Stick or Twist shares its name with the season 1 premiere. The 1:26 cue is one of the album’s shortest.
