Bang!”) and Michaela Watkins (“Casual”, Enough Said). See track list below.
“There was a lot of discussion as to how much the score should have in common with the kitschy ’80’s kid show music from BRIGSBY BEAR the show,” Wingo explained. “We always kept in mind that the score should for the most part be subjective to James’ experience and reflect his mental and emotional state, so it made a lot of sense that with his single-minded obsession with the show as well as the fact that it’s basically the only “culture” he was ever exposed to that if the music was to mirror him, then it needed to maybe share something in common with the Brigsby music.”
