@ThePlaylist features tracks from The Rover soundtrack

The Playlist has posted an article about the soundtrack for The Rover and they’ve also very helpfully rooted around for links to anything available.  Click below for the full article and links.  I can’t stop humming Pretty Girl Rock – dammit!! 🙂

The movie has an original score by Antony Partos (“Animal Kingdom”) that’s said to be droning, discordant and moodily ambient. But the movie also includes score, sound design and song pieces from Sam Petty, the sound designer/musician on Michod’s “Animal Kingdom” and projects like “Hesher,” “Lore” and “The Grandmaster.”

The movie contains tracks by Chicago post-rockers Tortoise, celebrated New York avante-garde composer William Basinski (The Disintergration Loops rule) and Michigan-born, Montreal-based (sometimes experimentalist) saxophonist and multireedist Colin Stetson—a touring member of Arcade Fire, Bell Orchestre and Bon Iver. “The Rover” also contains a track by the ’30s and ’40s doo-woppy vocal group The Ink Spots and contemporary R&B pop star Keri Hilson if you can believe it.

Anyhow, if you’re looking forward to “The Rover” and weren’t in Cannes, here’s what to expect musically. Below, all the music in the film is listed, plus applicable clips you can listen to below and links. “The Rover” opens in limited release on June 13th and goes wide on June 20^th.
