This playlist pairs spacious, wintry textures and uneasy acoustic pieces with darker electronic and orchestral tension, evoking the isolation of the Maine wilderness and a threat that grows harder to escape. The final three vocal songs add a stark, human edge to the story’s violence and survival themes.
