I can’t fast-forward past the trailer for the new Spike Jonze joint Where The Wild Things Are. I rewind my DVR every time to watch it. There’s something about that monster’s face that won’t let me look away. Just look at him –>
Last night I got my grubby hands on a copy of the official soundtrack from Karen O and the Kids.
Karen O, if you didn’t already know, is from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. The kids include Tristan Bechet (Services), Tom Biller (co-producer with Karen O and member of Afternoons), Bradford Cox (Deerhunter), Brian Chase (YYY), Dean Fertita (The Dead Weather), Aaron Hemphill (Liars), Greg Kurstin (The Bird and the Bee), Jack Lawrence (The Dead Weather), Oscar Michel (Gris Gris), Imaad Wasif (New Folk Implosion), Nick Zinner, (YYY) and an untrained children’s choir. Because a trained children’s choir would’ve been overkill.
About half of the 14 tracks are instrumental (well, they may have vocals in the background, but they’re definitely “soundtrack” songs), and the other half are superb indie pop tracks I can see myself listening to rather often. Fans of YYY, Danielson, Sufjan Stevens, Deerhoof and the like will highly enjoy this soundtrack.

Here’s some behind-the-scenes footage recording the tracks:
