Composer Cliff Martinez, who collaborated with director Refn on Drive, stated the films have similar styles, musically speaking, noting that for The Neon Demon he sought a "sparse electronic score." stated in an interview that the first half of the film resembles "a melodrama like Valley of the Dolls, and the second half is like The Texas Chain Saw Massacre."The soundtrack is strongly reminiscent of 70s and 80s electronic music, especially (by Refn's and Martinez's own admission) Giorgio Moroder, Goblin, Kraftwerk and Tangerine Dream.
