VARIOUS - ASTEROID CITY ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK

Released: 24/11/23 (BLACK FRIDAY 23)

Available as a limited-edition orange double-vinyl set, this awesome soundtrack to Wes Anderson’s terrific meta-fictive masterpiece Asteroid City features ‘You Can’t Wake Up If You Don’t Fall Asleep’, performed by Jarvis Cocker, and written by Jarvis and Richard Hawley; and ‘Dear Alien (Who Art in Heaven)’ by the Asteroid City Cast. A mesmerising mixture of 1950s bluegrass, skiffle, cowboy classics and exotica, the soundtrack also includes six original tracks by Oscar-winning composer Alexandre Desplat.

(And if that’s not enough Anderson for you (a very reasonable attitude), we also have the soundtrack from another of his all-timers, The Royal Tenenbaums.)
