In the world of crate-digging music junkies, there seems to be a new obsession every couple of years. You've had lo-fo garage, rockabilly, soul, and lord-knows how many others. Currently, the music cognescenti have latched on to obscure or out-of-print soundtracks. Thankfully, several labels have sprung up to accomodate the demands of those in search of Italo-disco, sleazy funk, and the like that scored films in the '60s and '70s. In addition to Death Waltz and Mondo , a new label has appeared - One Way Static . Ran by Sebastiaan Putseys from Belgium, [...]
Words Are Meaningless – Inanimate EP Words Are Meaningless present a bit of an enigma to us. We don’t know much about them (him? her?) but we do know the music is coming to us from the Golden State. We received this fantastic 5-track EP a few days ago and it immediately struck a chord with us. The release is self-described as evoking “… a distinguished vision of melancholic beauty…” and there was definitely an attractive quality to the distress of the release. We haven’t posted anything ambient or mellow in a while so this is a [...]
Seguro que pocos podrían adivinar cuál es el eslabón que une un videoclip como "Video killed the radio star", dirigido por Russell Mulcahy y primero de los que se emitieran en la ya desaparecida MTV, y la famosa y popular saga de películas que comenzaba con Piratas del Caribe: la Maldición de la Perla Negra , que se extendería por tres secuelas y una cuarta, ya de camino. Si me refiero a la cadena de televisión que respondía inicialmente al acrónimo de Music Television como ya desaparecida se debe a que, si en un principio estuviera destinada [...]
I don't know about you, but I can't think of a more awkward time in my life than when I was in high school. Thankfully, my awkward times in high school can't even compare to those of Jenna Hamilton from MTV's teenage comedy Awkward . Starring Ashley Rickards as the super ill-fated Jenna, Awkward follows the craziness that poor Jenna just can't avoid as she chases her dream boy. The show is like PG version of the American Pie series crossed with My So Called Life , filled with plenty of hilarious [...]
In case you haven't checked on that countdown of yours lately, Despicable Me 2 drops in just 42 days. It's so close that we can almost see the light beaming from soon to be villain-conquering Gru's (Steve Carrell) shiny, bald head. Anyways, the original movie has become one of the more likeable animated family entertainments (take that, Pixar), and also featured a wonderful soundtrack helmed by Pharrell Williams and composer Heitor Pereira. It's no surprise that the two have teamed up yet again for the film's sequel, and today we are given a [...]
If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands! Or just press play and enjoy the new solo tune from Daft Punk's new best [...]
Portada de la banda sonora de 'Prince Avalanche'. La primera vez que Explosions in the Sky participó con la banda sonora de una película fue en 2004 con Friday Night Lights . Ahora, la banda de post-rock de Texas será la encargada de musicalizar la nueva película de David Gordon titulada Prince Avalanche . Abajo les compartimos la lista de canciones y arriba la portada de este soundtrack que verá la luz el 6 de agosto, tres días antes del lanzamiento de [...]
Just finished watching the 80's themed movie Take Me Home Tonight for the first time, and I gotta say it was surprisingly good. What wasn't surprising though was how great the soundtrack to this movie was. From the opening scene with The Buggles " Video Killed The Radio Star " playing in the background, you just knew that it was gonna be chock full of great 80's tunes. "Live Is Life" by Austrian pop rockers Opus was a true blast from the past that had been long forgotten by me, and when it started playing [...]
¿Una banda sonora armada por Thom Yorke y Robert Del Naja ? ¿Dónde se compra? Las más recientes novedades del frontman de Radiohead y Atoms for Peace indican que trabajó junto al fundador de Massive Attack para el soundtrack de The UK Gold , un documental sobre la evasión fiscal en Gran Bretaña. El soundtrack de Thom Yorke y Del Naja servirá de acompañamiento para la película, que se estrenará el próximo [...]
We have previously shared several times music from Swiss producer Worship ! There's always something magical behind his retro-futuristic 802s synth magical sound. If you remember a couple years ago, this specific genre was very much the "scene," just like Deep House presently. Worship already count with several remixes for people such as Moullinex or B-Xentric. His music has been equally played by the likes of Goldroom, Anoraak, Zimmer, just to name a few. Anyway, if you're fan of Worship, you already know that his glamorous synthesizer is the main character of his sound. For what we know "Close Encounter [...]

Dominc West es el encargado de la locución, mientras que el soundtrack corre a cargo del mismísimo Thom Yorke y Robert Del Naja ( Massive Attack ). Desafortunadamente todavía no podemos escuchar ningún avance, aunque [...]
Poster de 'The Bling Ring'. The Bling Ring , el nuevo filme de Sofia Coppola tiene un gran soundtrack que sigue la línea de las anteriores entregas de la directora y se perfila para ser uno de los mejores del año. Una vez más, la supervisión musical corrió a cargo de Brian Reitzell (responsable por The Virgin Suicides , Marie Antoinette y Lost in Translation ). Para esta nueva entrega, Reitzell reunió a Kanye West , Frank Ocean , Azealia Banks , Phoenix , [...]
Besides releasing beautiful music, the little elves behind the scenes here at Hidden Shoal are busily working to get label tracks placed in film and tv. Our latest coup sees 9 tracks from the Hidden Shoal catalogue appear on the soundtrack to the US doco 30 Days in May . The film chronicles the days surrounding world champion boxer Floyd Mayweather’s 2012 incarceration with tracks from Hidden Shoal artists Antonymes , Gilded , Slow Dancing Society and Wes Willenbring featuring throughout . The film has been picked up [...]
Hidden Shoal Recordings is proud to announce the official release and digital availability of I Razor , the soundtrack to the no-budget experimental feature film of the same name directed by Todd Tobias . The album comprises challenging, playful, twisted, murky and downright beautiful pieces of music by Todd Tobias and Circus Devils, featuring vocals from Robert Pollard (Guided By Voices) as well as instrumental versions of some of the Devil’s existing songs. The album is a cinematic feast within itself, uncompromising, redemptive and always engaging. It weaves lo-fi keyboards through shimmering guitar textures, [...]
I sit shaking on the end of the phone, belated springtime rays trickling in through the tentatively agape window beside me. A couple repetitions of a particularly enervating dial tone refrain later, and I'm talking to the one and only maestro of contemporary classical, Ludovico Einaudi . If he and his highly idiosyncratic music had compelled me to quiver two evenings previous, then I'm rubbing if not my eyes then my ears in disbelief this morning for if Einaudi's compositional dexterity is forever destined for the heart and fair hair follicles sprinkled atop the skin, then having his rarely [...]
LANA DEL REY has unmasked a chilling music video to accompany her forsaken love ballad ‘ Young and Beautiful’, which features on the soundtrack for BAZ LUHRMANN’S most recent and highly anticipated film, The Great Gatsby . This somber-sounding single makes DEL REY’S sultry voice sound smoother then ever as it tangles harmoniously with haunting instrumentals professing feelings of love, insecurities of aging as well as a self diagnosed beauty. LANA lets the essence of her naturally mesmerizing vocals do all the work [...]

Image source: Facebook Let me start off by saying the whole Great Gatsby soundtrack wins (Baz, you're forgiven for postponing the film to work on the music). The more I listen to it, the more I like it, and there are some real gems here that brilliantly capture the essence of the film and its era in a modern way. Be sure not to miss these standout tracks from the film: 1. Jack White "Love Is Blindness" [...]

Goldie remains a huge influence on me, and I was reading up on his film that he's been working on for a long time, Sine Tempus , he's said its a coming-of-age story about a young paintbrush artist, which draws a whole bunch of parallels to Goldie's life. A few years back he released the soundtrack to the film saying it was out 'soon'. That was 2008, and while no film has surfaced the soundtrack will certainly tide me over till then, it's very visually evocative, as is the art for the album. [...]
