Free Music Notes for Shopgirl [Original Motion Picture Score]
Free Music Review: 4 Stars for Shopgirl
Hit: 4 Stars
This was another 10 dollar iTunes purchase, and it was worth every penny. I've never seen the film, and to be honest, I don't have much desire to. However, this is a fine score from a composer that assures us he will be more well known in the film music world soon.
Shopgirl is essentially divided into two parts - mellow, fairy tale type playful music involving lots of chimes and bells and sounds like a xylophone too, and then the other part, which is in more prominence and is the reason this score is so good; the melancholy, beautiful, heart breaking music that comprises of a terrific string composition and some piano that sounds very Nyman-esque at times. It's mellow, moving, and sometimes over-dramatic - the length of about 35-40 minutes is just about right. Too much of this kind of music would become overbearing, and as it stands now, it's rather lovely.

Free Music Review: No songs from the actual film
Hit: 3 Stars
The soundtrack is great but if you're looking to find some of the GREAT music (songs by artists) that were played in the film such as
Sun Kil Moon - Carry me Ohio
The notwist - Consequence
Death Cab for Cutie - Sound of Settling
You will not find it on this cd.
