‘Shrinking’ Music Supervisors Christa Miller And Tony Von Pervieux Talk Episode 7 Needle Drops And Tease ‘Something For Everyone’ In Finale

deadline.com:

SPOILER ALERT: This piece contains spoilers for Shrinking Season 2 Episode 7. Shrinking music supervisors Christa Miller and Tony Von Pervieux approach song selection for the Apple TV+ comedy series by isolating specific songs for certain scenes in the show.

While they bank as many songs as possible in a shared playlist, they also come into every season having a few names in mind who they want to fit into the half-hour episodes, especially new artists.

Miller, who also stars as Liz in the series that follows Jimmy Laird (Jason Segel) as he treats his therapy clients in unorthodox methods that have surprisingly good results, revealed that some placements get “stolen” or moved up based on how good a song is, which happened with both needle drops in Season 2 Episode 2 — “Never Been Better” by Ben Abraham and “cope” by AKA lisa.

In the below interview, Miller and Von Pervieux discuss the two songs they used in Shrinking Season 2 Episode 7, the latest installment of Shrinking now streaming, some specific sonic contributions from writer Bill Posley and Tom Howe and what viewers can look forward to in the second half of Season 2. DEADLINE: With forgiveness being a general theme for Season 2, did that factor into the music selection at all? CHRISTA MILLER: We bank a lot of music more on if it’s a standalone song that we both love, that we think is going to be great, and how can we promote new artists and have them be out there.
