The Quietus
They have created a work of aural tension; a masterclass in how implied threat is far more effective than a million scary monsters

More so than any of their other film work this really is a soundtrack and shows a band at their bare minimum best

The Skinny
Almost painfully beautiful, with descending minor-chord melodies dominating, lending the whole suite a tragic, elegiac tone that no doubt suits the source material

You don’t need to have seen the series to appreciate the music here – it stands alone as a body of work that should be ranked high in the Mogwai catalogue

Consequence Of Sound
Composed prior to the series’ production, the aural work of Mogwai was a catalyst for the dark ambiance of the visual work, not a reactionary composition to peak viewer interests during zombie attacks or moments of character introspection
