We're All Going to the World's Fair (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

Writer/director Jane Schoenbrun immersed themself in the music of slacker-pop king Alex G while writing their horror flick *We\'re All Going to the World\'s Fair*, so hand-picking him to score the film was an easy call. The Philly singer/songwriter\'s first foray into film music is bookended by two tracks in keeping with his chilled-out catalog (the laconic \"Main Theme\" and the gentle yet unnerving \"End Song\"), but it also shows how he can craft moods that are menacing enough to inspire a thousand creepypastas. Ominous drones abound, with cuts like \"Stitch\" and \"JLB\'s Story\" using stretched-out, hovering notes to sustain a vibe. The lengthy \"Casey\'s Walk\" punctuates its extended hum with the musical equivalent of a jump-scare, revealing a streak of darkness lurking beneath Alex\'s generally laidback exterior.

Both creepy and cozy, the Pennsylvania singer-songwriter’s original score amplifies the melancholic beauty that hovers at the edges of director Jane Schoenbrun’s deeply online horror.
