Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story soundtrack – All the songs in the Netflix series

The latest instalment in Netflix's Monster anthology series has arrived and with it, an exploration into the talked-about tale of Lizzie Borden, reimagining the axe murders of her father and stepmother.

While the series dramatises the events in its own way, the Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan series goes further back than any of its other Monster series in the timeline.

That doesn't mean that the soundtrack to the drama is any more dated though, with the intriguing drama unfolding against songs from Kate Bush, Wet Leg and Fiona Apple.

The score for the series was composed by Bryce Dessner, the guitarist of rock band The National, who is also best known for his work on the likes of Cyrano, Train Dreams, Sing Sing and We Live in Time.

The result is a moody soundtrack that underpins many scenes but as for what songs are featured in Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story, read on.
