Free Music Notes for Shortbus

Free Music Review: Excellent movie, but it seems like they settled for this soundtrack
Hit: 4 Stars

The tracks by Animal Collective, Azure Ray, The Ark and Yo La Tengo were excellent choices, but I feel like Scott Matthew's were lacking the poetry. Jamie and Jamie would have been beautifully accompanied by "I Fell In Love With A Dead Boy" by Antony & the Johnsons and that relationship almost syncs with their discography. I would've liked Beirut to be playing in Shortbus. Soda Shop totally captures Ceth's character and is an adorable sad track. I love the way "Winters Love" (along with "Leaf House" on Sung Tongs) crescendos so you can almost feel an epiphany taking place, even if it's false and they're only singing "meeeeeowwww.."

Shortbus Poster

His follow-up to Hedwig and the Angry Inch may not be a music movie per se, but music is indeed important to the aesthetic of John Cameron Mitchell's Shortbus. While some soundtracks go out of the way to be diverse, this one prefers a uniform mood, and that mood is reflective, relatively lo-fi indie rock. This is exemplified by Scott Matthew's five new tracks. The first, "Upside Down," gives off a strong whiff of late-period Magnetic Fields (maybe it's the ukulele), and the remaining four stay within these parameters of predominantly acoustic, forlorn introspection. Other paragons of American indie creativity include Yo La Tengo (the previously unreleased "Wizard's Sleeve"), Azure Ray, Animal Collective, and guest Canadians the Hidden Cameras. Rocker and former MuchMusic VJ Sook-Yin Lee (who plays a sex therapist in the movie) sings one of the best tracks, the pared-down but catchy "Beautiful." Two songs by Sweden's the Ark mercifully inject a welcome dose of disco excitement, while jazz singer Anita O'Day sounds as fantastically smoky as ever on "Is You Is or Is You Ain't My Baby." Look also for Justin Bond (a.k.a. Kiki of Kiki and Herb) as he delivers the elegiac coda with the melancholy "In the End." --Elisabeth Vincentelli
The much rumored-about new film from John Cameron Mitchell ("Hedwig And The Angry Inch") comes to the US this fall following its sold-out premiere at the Cannes Film Festival where it received a ten-minute standing ovation. "Shortbus" is an engaging study of love and lust; a playful comedy about oddball New Yorkers in search of love, happiness, and the perfect orgasm. The soundtrack includes all the original songs from the film, composed by singer-songwriter Scott Matthew. Other contributors include Yo La Tengo, Animal Collective, Azure Ray, The Ark, and Hidden Cameras.
