Philadelphia experimental rock group Man Man contributes “Whalebones,” from their third full-length Rabbit Habits (2008). Lotus’ brand of dancy electronic-based music is represented in Mr. Roosevelt with “Fearless,” from their most recent album Eat The Light (2016). Late soul singer/Brill Building songwriter Jimmy Radcliffe’s graces the soundtrack with “Why Me.” Cincinnati garage rock band Heartless Bastards’ “Into The Light” comes from their 2015 album Restless Ones.
