Beef

Beef (Original Score) is the soundtrack to the 2023 comedy-drama television series of the same name created for Netflix and produced by A24. The series' original score is composed by Bobby Krlic and released on the same date as its premiere, April 6, 2023 by A24 Music. The series' featured music from the 1990s and early 2000s, and Krlic's score threaded the featuring songs in each episode. Development The series' score is composed and produced by Bobby Krlic, known for his collaborations with A24—the Ari Aster-directed Midsommar (2019) and Beau Is Afraid (2023). Krlic opted for music from the 1990s to indicate the emotional expression of Danny (Steven Yeun) and Amy (Ali Wong). He told to TheWrap: "The '90s was this golden period where people just had their hearts on their sleeves with that kind of music. They just express things very matter of factly and in a really unique, emotional way." The showrunner Lee Sung Jin shared a bond with Krlic over the influences and love for the 1990s music, making it as "the most fun, musical experience of [his] life" and insisted music supervisor Timmy Anders to pick the songs that suited with the narrative, saying that "It took some personal letters to some frontman bands, but it all worked out." He wanted the score that "didn’t say too much" and sounded like a ticking clock, which Krlic admitted "Everybody inside is just so wound up and so tense, finding something kind of small, and almost irritating [was the goal]. We almost wanted to irritate the audience and be like, 'Why does this thing just keep going?'"
