Yes, Spike Jonze’s “I’m Here” is only thirty-five minutes long, but it still ranks as one of the finest pieces of cinema this year. The film which unspooled online earlier this year, and played at SXSW, follows the bittersweet relationship between two robots living in a slightly modified contemporary Los Angeles. Among the film’s many charms was it’s great use of music and the film now has an official soundtrack release.
The nine track release will feature previously released material by Animal Collective, Gui Boratto, Girls and Sleigh Bells, but earns its must-buy stripes by including three brand new, never-before-released tracks by The Lost Trees, the band featuring Yeah Yeah Yeah’s Nick Zinner, Red Hot Chili Pepper’s Flea, and L.A. artist Aska Matsumiya. Rounding things out are a couple selections from the film’s score by Sam Spiegel (aka Squeak E. Clean of the group NASA and Jonze’s younger brother).
The soundtrack will hit on October 5th via Chocolate Industries. [Pitchfork]
