The theme song heard over the title credits of every episode is a cover of the Jefferson Airplane song White Rabbit, performed by Eliot Sumner and developed by Ben Frost.
The song was first released in 1967, and draws on imagery from Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland. It has previously been heard across a whole host of film and TV projects, including Platoon, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, The Sopranos, Stranger Things and the trailer for The Matrix Resurrections.
Sumner is the child of musician and actor Sting and actress Trudie Styler, who was recently seen in Pose.
1899 composer: Who wrote the soundtrack?
The show’s original music was composed by Ben Frost, an Australian-Icelandic musician known for his work on previous shows including Fortitude and Raised by Wolves.
He also wrote the music for Netflix’s Dark, which comes from the same creators as 1899.
