One of the most talked-about scenes in Netflix’s hit drama BEEF came at the end of episode three when the Oscar-nominated actor Steven Yeun revealed his impressive chops as a singer and guitarist with an acoustic cover of the early ’00s alt-rock hit “Drive” by Incubus. Viewers of the show only got a brief snippet of Yeun’s version, but now a studio version is out via BEEF: The Bonus Tracks, a new collection of music from the show.
Most of the songs on The Bonus Tracks are compositions for the opening credits of each episode by Bobby Krlic, who handled the show’s score. That makes the “Drive” cover an outlier, the only piece of music on the EP that doesn’t start with the ominous brass honks from Justice’s “Genesis.” It also expands on the version heard in the show, with Yeun’s performance backed by a cello and an egg shaker. Listen below, and read our thoughts BEEF‘s nu-metal and alt-rock heavy needle drops.
