Music is a key contributor to the dark and foreboding tone of The Killing. The show's "Main Title Theme" is written by Richard File and Wendy Rae Fowler and performed by We Fell To Earth, while the show's original score is composed by Frans Bak.

In addition, the show draws on the work of popular recording artists with music supervision by Thomas Golubić (click here to read an interview with Thomas Golubić about the music heard during Season 1 of The Killing). Below is a list of musicians and songs featured in Season 2:
