In the psychedelic horror trip that is 'Cuckoo,' music serves as an emotional and narrative guide, telling 'a different story' than the surface-level plot, Singer said.
The long scene evokes the sisters' estrangement and forges their central conflict, building tension until Gretchen notices Alma's seizures - reactions to the malign siren song of the cuckoo people.
Originally, Singer envisioned Gretchen playing a song by alternative rock band the Jesus and Mary Chain, suiting her perfectly with their noisy yet shoegazey demeanor.
