Netflix's Trinkets soundtrack is a mix of genres to fit the varying personalities of Elodie, Moe and Tabitha. From classics like Carl Carlton's "Everlasting Love" to songs from Portland's local indie acts like like Ages and Ages, Haley Heynderickx, and Helio Sequence, here are all the songs featured in Trinkets season 1.
Based on Kirsten Smith's novel of the same name, Trinkets' first 10 episodes brought together three high school girls who meet in a Shoplifters Anonymous. As they navigate their own personal issues prompting them to have the indescribable desire to steal, they eventually form a strong friendship. The show's first season ended in a cliffhanger, whetting fans' appetites for an expected season 2. In the meantime, as we wait for Netflix's official green light, fans can relive the adventures of Elodie, Moe and Tabitha through the show's extensive soundtrack.
One of the major settings in Trinkets season 1 is a bar called Paper Tigers. Because of this, the show naturally features many songs from acts performing in the bar's stage. Singer Kat Cunning (Katrina Cunningham) is also part of the cast as Elodie's love interest, Sabine, and she sings some of her own songs in the show. Below are the main songs featured in Trinkets.

Aside from being an indie fan's dream playlist, the Trinkets soundtrack also features a couple of songs from the same acts. Cunningham herself has "Birds " and "King of Shadow," while boygenius has "Bite the Hand" and "Salt in the Woods," and the show features St. Vincent's "Fast Slow Disco" and "Slow Disco." Since season 1 ended with Elodie joining Sabine's tour, there's a good chance that we'll hear more of Cunningham's songs in season 2 - unless something goes awry in their relationship and they totally go their separate ways.
No word yet about Trinkets season 2, but in the event that season 2 is finally officially ordered, fans can expect another curated soundtrack to would reflect the girls' next adventure.
Trinkets season 1 is streaming on Netflix.
