About This Soundtrack
The first season of the HBO crime drama series Task (2025), created by Brad Ingelsby, delivers a gritty and emotionally charged exploration of justice, family, and survival in the suburbs of Philadelphia. The story centers on Special Agent Tom Brandis (Mark Ruffalo), a veteran investigator who must lead a green task force while recovering from his own family tragedy. Their path collides with Robbie Prendergrast (Tom Pelphrey), a desperate family man committing robberies to keep his family afloat. The soundtrack accompanying these seven episodes serves as an essential companion, echoing the bleakness of the industrial town and the tension of the criminal investigation.
Curated by seasoned music supervisor Gabe Hilfer, the series features a diverse selection of licensed songs that define its working-class atmosphere. Ranging from Pink Floyd's legendary classic Wish You Were Here in the promotional materials to alternative selections by Van Morrison, Caamp, Courtney Marie Andrews, and Bruce Springsteen, the soundtrack highlights the emotional conflicts of the characters. Complementing these licensed tracks is the original instrumental score composed by Dan Deacon, who crafts a unique electronic-orchestral soundscape that underscores the rising dread and moral ambiguity of the characters' decisions.
