Season 2 of HBO’s Hung premieres on Sunday night, so I thought I would take this opportunity to review the newly released Hung Soundtrack. I have not seen this show, but I get from the music here that it is both gritty – The Black Keys, Lorretta Lynn by-way-of Jack Black and Devendra Banhart – and heartfelt – Grant Lee Philips and Joseph Arthur. The other highlights on this offering include contributions from Morcheeba and The Psychedelic Furs. And of course this soundtrack would not be complete without Mickey Avalon “My Dick” (I dare you to get through that whole song without cringing.) Overall, it’s a nearly cohesive mix, so check it out.

Hung: Original Television Soundtrack is available now on Primary Wave Records.
