In putting together a soundtrack for his adaptation of Where the Wild Things Are, the beloved children’s book by Maurice Sendak, director Spike Jonze commissioned Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs to compose original songs for the film. The “Kids” are a cast of indie rockers assembled by O that includes members of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, the Liars, Deerhunter, and the Raconteurs, as well as a chorus of actual children. Like the story itself, the album is sweet and tender (“All Is Love,” “Hideaway,” “Food Is Still Hot”) with moments of wild abandon thrown in (“Rumpus,” “Animal,” “Heads Up”). About half of the tracks are moving instrumentals that revolve around acoustic guitar and light humming, while the other half are fully orchestrated folk-pop songs with sing-along choruses, hand claps, and exuberant “woo-hoos.” It’s a wonderful combination that beautifully captures the innocence, playfulness, and mystery of being a child. The well-written and arranged songs also work well as a work of art independent of the film. In short, it’s a joyous, heartfelt rumpus pleasing to kids and adults alike.
I have passed a strange and beauriful Christmas watching again Where the wild things in my PC , but it is better watching this movie at the cinema (everyone knows it). Merry Christmas and happy new year. This movie is love.
Hey! THANKS for the support!!! Featured in the Adidas “The Music” Soundtrack 2009, Stephanie debuted her ‘Hot’ New Single at the MIAMI MUSIC FESTIVAL last week and will be released in early 2010! Stay tuned!
Ho! Ho! Ho! We thought we'd contribute to the holiday spirit by sharing a new song which we hope functions as an antidote to the madness of consumption that seems to have since long overshadowed the birth of love! It's an alternative Christmas carol & we'd love it if you check it out! May this Holiday season be filled with Kindness! All true blessings upon you & your loved ones, light, mercy & compassion for all!
