Only Murders in the Building

Composer: Siddhartha Khosla

Khosla created the tune during the pandemic, using his own vocals/humming and a Mellotron. It features a “janky” piano pulse reminiscent of 1960s Brit-pop.

Instruments used: The track includes piano, cello, snare drums, screeches, and, notably, recordings of Home Depot buckets played by drummer James McAlister.

This theme fits perfectly with the feel of this show. It is mysterious, energetic and a little funny. The theme sticks with you and it creates a great tone for the Steve Martin-Martin Short-Selina Gomez vehicle.
