Lakeshore Records is set to release Bad Hair—Original Motion Picture Soundtrack digitally on October 23. The album features a multi-faceted score by Emmy Award-winning composer Kris Bowers that showcases angular and tension-filled orchestrations alongside minimal electronic atmospherics.

The Hulu original film hits the streaming service on October 23rd.
Synopsis:
