A descent from the mines of Mars into the glittering, brutal world of the Golds, this playlist follows Darrow’s grief, transformation, and growing defiance. Electronic and cinematic instrumentals evoke an alien frontier and the Institute’s danger; the vocal tracks turn toward caste, rebellion, power, and the cost of living for more.
