Premiering at Sundance in January, and headed to theaters this summer, “The Way, Way Back” is not only riding high with strong notices out of Park City (including our own) but it’s also bringing with it a pretty nice little soundtrack for the coming-of-age tale.
The tracklist mixes hip, young actors like electro popsters Young Galaxy and Wild Belle, and the pleasant Ben Kweller, with veterans like Edie Brickell (sans the New Bohemians it seems), Robert Palmer, Mr. Mister and INXS. Talk about your flashbacks. But overall, it’s well rounded with the songs suggesting they’ve been chosen more to evoke a certain mood, rather than sign up whoever Pitchfork is hot for this month.
“The Way, Way Back” soundtrack drops on July 2nd with the movie rolling into theaters starting on July 5th. Details below. [Film Music Reporter]
