"Six Feet Under" is an unlikely hit series, about the people who live and work at a... well, a funeral home. Is it all funereal? Nope. And neither is the "Six Feet Under" soundtrack, a well-chosen musical blend. While there are some misfires (the excruciating cover of "Yummy Yummy Yummy" by Julie London), it's overall a satisfying experience.Thomas Newman handles the stately, delicate main theme for this series, which is later given a poppy, catchy spin by Photek and a darker, eerie edge by Rae & Christian. The rest of the album is a quilt of rock (the rollicking Dandy Warhol tune "Bohemian Like You," Beta Band's catchy "Squares"), Latin music (Orlando Cachaito Lopez's "Mis Dos Pequeñas"), jazz (Peggy Lee's sultry "I Love Being Here With You"), and pop music (Zero 7's plaintive "Distractions," Lamb's soft, sweet "Heaven").
The choices for "Six Feet Under's" soundtrack are good ones. They convey both the funeral atmosphere of the show, and the lighter sides of the characters ("Mis Dos Pequeñas" is nothing if not cheerful). These are genuinely good bands selected, although some are not well-suited to what they play (such as PJ Harvey's "One Time Too Many"). The selection of bands like Beta Band, Dandy Warhols, Lamb, Shuggie Otis, the Devlins, and Classics IV show that actual thought (most of the time) went into what was chosen for this, music that reflects the atmosphere of the series.
A mixture of the eerie and the playful, this will catch on even for people who aren't fans of the TV show. "Six Feet Under's" soundtrack isn't perfect, but it's a good listen for fans of quality music.
