Yo La Tengo preps soundtrack compilation
Yo La Tengo has been involved in quite a few movie soundtracks recently. From the New York Mets approved Game 6 to the award winning Junebug, the New Jersey natives have provided the sounds behind many of our favorite soundtracks over the last couple years and in effort to ensure that no one song goes unnoticed, Yo La Tengo will release all their soundtracks together in one pacakage.
Set for release on September 5, They Shoot, We Score will feature music from four soundtracks over 27 tracks on “one handy compact disc.”
Not sure about the legal definition of “popular demand,” but this might actually apply. At long last, They Shoot, We Score collects all of our music — plus outtakes — for the motion pictures Game 6, Junebug, Old Joy, and Shortbus in one handy-dandy compact disc. Nearly an hour of instrumental music. 27 tracks — 26 of them previously unreleased. Eight-page booklet features posters from around the world. Four different front covers, one for each movie. Don’t collect them all, and don’t ask for a specific one — they will be sent out according to a random-number generator by our blindfolded mail-order crew.
Pre-orders are now available via the band’s official website.
