Exclusive: Stream Songs By Rooney & Robert Schwartzman From The 'Dreamland' Soundtrack

Co-writing and directing a movie is hard enough, but Rooney frontman Robert Schwartzman has taken it up a notch. Not only did he pen an original song for “Dreamland,” but Rooney has contributed new material, and Schwartzman curated the entire soundtrack, and today we have some exclusive cuts for you to hear.

Starring Johnny Simmons, Amy Landecker, Jason Schwartzman, Frankie Shaw, Noël Wells, Beverly D’Angelo, and Talia Shire, the story centers on young, struggling musician Monty Fagan who dreams of opening a piano bar, but doesn’t have the money to make it happen. Things take an interesting turn, however, when Monty gets the chance to fill in as the pianist in a swanky hotel bar, where he meets Olivia, an older, wealthy femme fatale with whom he begins a rather torrid affair. Enlivened by Olivia’s presence in his life, Monty gets a newfound self-confidence and sexual prowess. But when Olivia starts to throw some much-needed cash at Monty, he begins worry that being a kept man will destroy his ability to make it on his own terms.
