Alongside an exclusive first listen, Brian McOmber unpacks how the song — which will release with the Netflix movie's soundtrack on Oct. 6 — captured the tensions of New York, the stock trading industry and a couple on the brink.

The track “One Crest,” which is off the film’s official soundtrack releasing Oct. 6, is a perfect example of how McOmber’s approach captures the entire film and score’s mingling of character, mood and environment, alongside the composer’s strength in percussion and Domont’s own take on thrillers as “fun.”

“The time, the pace — Chloe constantly mentioned that she wanted it to feel or sound like a ticking time bomb,” McOmber tells. “I’m not from [New York] and I don’t live there now, but I have been there — it just feels like the pace is so fast. When you’re walking, it’s like one, two, three, four.” The city itself is embodied almost tangibly by the track, and that’s not on accident. McOmber says he and Domont thought about the rush and thrill of the city “a lot as far as tambour.”

“All these shots, you see so much metal and glass and things are gray. It’s very cold,” he continues. “I like to think about it not necessarily as a melody, not necessarily a theme. It’s a texture. I thought about what the sound of metal is. A lot of those clicks are just me striking pieces of metal with other pieces of metal. That’s the sound of these oppressive, downtown steel skyscrapers.”

“One Crest” captures not only the palpitations of New York’s streets and subways but also the inside of Luke and Emily’s offices, which can serve at times as an even more punishing urban playground. “Inside, that clock speeds up. Everything is just under a pressure cooker. It’s ticking, ticking, ticking and getting faster and faster, louder and louder,” he explains. “So there’s that variable of rhythm and time.
