“Be What You Want” by Robin Loxley & Oliver Jackson featured on Switched at Birth 2×12 “Distorted House” Promo

Sometimes promo music is just as important as music in the episode if not more so. It has to capture the entire tonal feel of what’s about to go down. In Switched at Birth episode 2×12 “Distorted House” the haunting “Be What You Want” does just that. Just as Bay and Ty begin to reconnect, Bay learns some shocking news about Ty’s experiences in Afghanistan and after he returned home. John is torn when both Toby and Travis approach him about a manager position at the car wash. Meanwhile, Kathryn and Daphne have a hard time coming to terms with Bay’s request to stay with Regina. All of these things are teased and underscored by the dreamlike, chill inducing vocals of Robin Loxley & Oliver Jackson.
