About Small Prophets & Musical Palette

Music Supervision

Produced for the BBC and distributed internationally by Apple TV+, Small Prophets is a distinctive British mystery-comedy drama that marries dry wit with esoteric English folklore. The story centers on Michael Sleep, an unassuming man whose life has been suspended in grief ever since his partner Clea vanished without a trace seven years ago. When Michael discovers a weathered journal filled with cryptic alchemical recipes, his mundane shed becomes a secluded laboratory in a desperate bid to conjure answers.

The musical atmosphere of Small Prophets relies on an eclectic, dreamlike selection of needle drops that mirror Michael's unraveling grip on reality. The series is defined by dark folk singer-songwriter Cinder Well (Amelia Baker), whose haunting theme "The Wise Man's Song" and evocative ballad "Old Enough" infuse the narrative with an ancient, melancholic resonance.

Contrasting the quiet acoustic moments, the show's episodes punctuate tension with infectious vintage tracks—from Shocking Blue's 1969 stomper "Venus" and the 1960s British psychedelic outfit Nirvana's "I Believe In Magic", to Bananarama's infectious post-punk bounce on "Really Saying Something", Art Garfunkel's cinematic classic "Bright Eyes", bluegrass picking by Little Grasscals, and Modest Mouse's uplifting indie milestone "Float On".
