Small Town Murder Soundtrack

(Songs for the End Credits)

Every episode of Murder Girls ends on a chord — usually the kind that feels like someone flicked the lights on in an empty room. The closing songs aren’t just end-credit music; they’re emotional epilogues. Little postcards from Avalon Falls, sung from the corner booth of the Sloppy Otter.

Each one is a mood, a memory, or a bad idea set to a melody. They’re not trying to explain anything — they’re meant to feel like the exact moment after the dust settles, when Mags and Amy are still catching their breath and pretending they’re fine.

The songs (so far)…

“Small Town Murder Story” — This one set the tone for the whole concept. I originally wrote it for a potential trailer, which is why it mirrors some of the themes of Episode 1. But it had too much presence to stay in the archives. It’s the perfect button on that first chapter. Fun fact: “Small Town Murder Story” was the working title of the show — now it’s just the title of this song and Minerva’s podcast, which is honestly pretty funny. [Listen on Spotify]

“Call Me Electra” — Tried to capture the momentum at the end of Episode 2 while hinting at the storm building on the horizon. The song leans into some of the ongoing themes about identity, inheritance, and the dark places curiosity takes you.

“Out 2 get u” — The paranoia at the end of Episode 3 needed something sharp, loud, and sprinting straight at you. Hardcore/punk/whatever-the-kids-are-calling-it-today felt right.

“Something’s Wrong” — Episode 4’s cliffhanger is surreal and a little sideways, so I wanted something that felt like a musical non sequitur — hence the 70s singer-songwriter/AM Gold twist. Drones + AM Gold = weirdly perfect.

“I’ll Let You Know” — Episode 5 ends with a mix of fun and foreboding: the diner, the warmth, the foreshadowing narrator beat. I pictured a shot of Mags and Amy from outside Loula’s Diner, then leaned into a more carefree indie rock vibe — a small breath before things get heavy again.

“Midnight Blue” — Episode 6 ends in heartache and dream-logic. This sentimental dream pop / cosmic Americana blend came out of wanting something tender but unsettling. Soft heartbreak with a little static. [Listen on Spotify]

“No More Dreaming” — 'Anamorphosis' is easily one of the most noir episodes so far, so going full “soundtrack-core” felt right. I like how it lets Minerva’s entrance land with maximum drama. (There’s even a sadder, jazzier version of the song playing in the background at the Otter during a scene in episode 6.)

“False Faces” — A lot of end-credit songs start in one tonal place and wander somewhere totally different by the time I’m done with them. This one began as early goth — Siouxsie, Cure, Sisters of Mercy — and wandered into Dark Americana/indie rock, which honestly fits the show better anyway.

The music in Murder Girls changes from episode to episode, but it all comes from the same place: that messy overlap where heartbreak meets humor, and where the fog feels thicker after the song ends. These tracks are the after-images — the things the characters won’t say out loud, humming at the edge of the story.

Hopefully you’ve been sticking around for the music. I promise the fog looks different when the songs kick in.

See you out there.
