You may recall earlier this year we said the soundtrack to Philip Seymour Hoffman’s directorial debut, “Jack Goes Boating,” could end up potentially being the indie-rock soundtrack of the year if its tracklist was any indication.
The disc feature Fleet Foxes, Grizzly Bear, Cat Power, Goldfrapp and DeVotchKa and lands in stores September 14th, just a few days before the film hits theaters on September 17.
A relationship dramedy about two people who find each other in New York City while the couple that set them up are facing problems in their marriage, “Jack Goes Boating,” co-stars the lovely Amy Ryan, and premiered at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year where it received decent buzz. The Hollywood Reporter said the film is a “small, slender yet fond slice of life,” while the picture recalled “the warm ‘little people’ dramas of ’50s” according to Variety, and the trailer certainly bears that out.
Anyhow, we have four copies of the soundtrack to give away. Winning is simple. CONTEST CLOSED, thanks for playing). Email us the answer to this easy question: what is the name of the of the Cat Power album from which her song on this soundtrack originally comes? Easy, see? Bonne chance and watch the trailer below if you haven’t seen it already (btw, many of us are traveling tomorrow so if we don’t answer you immediately, please remain patient).
