Nov 2, 2026

This playlist follows the story’s collision of frontier dust and supernatural dread: twangy instrumental guitar and borderland textures evoke the West, while darker songs suggest the guns’ curse, Drake’s burden, and Hume’s pursuit of power. Its shifts from tense and ominous to defiant and resilient mirror Becky and Drake’s dangerous journey.
