When it came to choosing an artist to sing a theme song for HBO’s documentary series “I’ll Be Gone in the Dark” , it’s far from inconceivable that the producers might have looked just as a matter of course to. Speaking of the dark, she’s a woman who’s spent some time on the non-sunny side of the street — her last album was titled “Mental Illness,” after all, even if the neuroses it surveyed didn’t rise to the level of the serial killings recounted in the HBO series.

Mann’s version of “Avalanche” is only briefly excerpted for the opening credit sequence, but fans of her and/or Cohen can look forward to hearing the full version as a download or stream. “We did a full version because I think they wanted to have all the verses just in case. I personally would have maybe come out a couple of verses,” she says, laughing at Cohen’s propensity for going for the epic form at times.

“We were trying to figure it out, too,” she admits. “Michael produced it, because he’s got a small studio at home. And when you do multiple takes of vocals… Like, we actually started in one key, because he thought it would sound good if I sang it really low, but then that kind of didn’t work out. So I ended up singing it a lot. So when you hear the song through so many times, you start to go, whathappening in this song? What is going on? And we couldn’t really figure that out.
