Karen O. Details for Where the Wild Things Are Soundtrack

A quick review for what could truly turn out to be one of the most magical tales in film of the year.  Spike Jonze is directing a live-action, full-length edition of Maurice Sendak’s “Where the Wild Things Are” (opening October 16th).

Adding icing to this already-frosty cake is that Yeah Yeah Yeahs front-woman Karen O. is producing the soundtrack to the film with a massive cadre of collaborators she’s dubbed “The Kids”.  A posse that includes the likes of DeerhuntersBradford Cox, Raconteurs/Dead Weather’s Dean Ferita and Jack Lawerence, Aaron Hemphill from Liars, Services’ Tristan Bechet, a children’s choir, and the other two-thirds of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs Nick Zinner and Brian Chase.

The soundtrack is due to be released on September 29th, a teaser-like preview of which can be listened to in the video below:
