A lot of y’all have been asking about “Paranoid Park” and whether the lyrical and dreamy skate drama by director Gus Van Sant was going to have an accompanying soundtrack release or not.
As we mentioned way back in the day, an album was released in France in October 2007. This same album is now available as an import on Amazon and more accesibly to most, the soundtrack has also now been made available on Itunes which features most of the key songs used in the film (the entire list of songs here).
As previously mentioned the film and soundtrack are heavy on tracks by Italian composer Nino Rota and Van Sant fave Elliott Smith, plus tracks by score texturalist Ethan Rose, indie-rockers Menomena, rap group Cool Nutz and musique concrète artists Frances White and Robert Normandeau.
