Where the Wild Things Are…& the Kids

"Getting back to blogging life.) Everyone is probably aware that one of the most hip ’seemingly child-movie’/art-bro stuff ofwhere the wild things are the year is coming up. Where the Wild Things Are gathered massive anticipation and its indie-appeal has something to do with the soundtrack, I guess. The soundtrack is by Karen O and the Kids, in which the Kids have such names as Bradford Cox, Dean Fertita, Aaron Hemphill among others, so it’s a super-group. Wow. Without having seen the movie, I can say that the soundtrack is perfect for the world that the trailers projected. It’s surprising that it actually has good songs and it’s fun to listen to. Hard to achieve this while trying to sound like innocence, enchantment, dreamy, primordial, arty, etc. I’d say that they go back to some sorta roots, some country and folk but it has an experimental twist and it’s mixed with childish elements. The whole thing is very atmospheric and you can sense that you’re being pushed to immerse in a new mood. Karen O’s vocals are definetly highlights, she is just amazing…I mean this is quite different stuff than YYYs but she can even pretend to be a story-in-bed-mother an her voice delivers. This is not gonna be a traditional tale, let’s hope that Jonze’s movie is going to have the virtue of nice and, on the surface, simple story-telling and the alt, arty elements will blend in and just help with the magic."
