About the Composer(s)
Michael Andrews (also known by his stage name Elgin Park) is an acclaimed American multi-instrumentalist, record producer, and film/television composer known for his minimal, highly creative, and genre-blending comedy and drama scores. Born in San Diego, Andrews began his musical journey in the 1990s as the frontman of the alternative pop band The Origin and as a founding member of the acid-jazz group The Greyboy Allstars.
Andrews achieved international legendary status for his haunting, piano-led cover of Tears for Fears' 'Mad World' (featuring Gary Jules) for Richard Kelly's cult film Donnie Darko (2001), which became the UK Christmas number-one single. In television, he composed the beloved score for the cult series Freaks and Geeks. He has since become the go-to composer for major Hollywood comedies and dramas, scoring hit features such as Bridesmaids, Funny People, Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, The Five-Year Engagement, The Big Sick, and The King of Staten Island. For Jake Kasdan's 2011 hit comedy Bad Teacher, Andrews composed a playful, quirky, and driving instrumental score featuring guitar, bass, and percussion cues that underline Elizabeth Halsey's scheming, lazy, and money-hungry antics.
