So will this be the indie rock soundtrack of the year? Hard to say but with a tracklisting boasting the likes of Fleet Foxes, Grizzly Bear, Cat Power, Goldfrapp and DeVotchKa it’s definitely in the running.
“Jack Goes Boating” is 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. The film marks the directorial debut of Philip Seymour Hoffman, co-stars the always excellent Amy Ryan, and premiered at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year where it got some 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.
The film opens on September 17th with the soundtrack landing in stores a few days earlier on September 14th. You can watch the trailer for the film here and if anything, we’ll always welcome another reason to listen to Fleet Foxes’ “White Winter Hymnal.” [Facebook]
