Author: Various Artists

Format: Soundtrack

Release Date: 29-05-2012

Details: Original soundtrack to the 2012 film from director Wes Anderson. Set amongst the widow's walks and Yankee traditions of 1965 New England, Anderson and co-screenwriter Roman Coppola create an incomparable tale of romance between rogue Khaki Scout Sam and the beautiful and troubled Suzy. As in all of Anderson's previous films, music is an essential element and once again it is used to masterful effect. Grounded in the elegiac compositions of classical composer Benjamin Britten, Moonrise Kingdom features masterworks performed by Leonard Bernstein and the New York Philharmonic as well as popular gems performed by French chanteuse Franoise Hardy and the legendary country troubadour Hank Williams. Moonrise Kingdom includes an original suite by renowned film composer Alexandre Desplat as well as percussion compositions by longtime Anderson collaborator and Devo co-founder Mark Mothersbaugh. This soundtrack promises to be one of this year's most interesting and compelling releases
