It has now been nearly a year since we began simmering over the Phoenix-inspired Sofia Coppola film, Somewhere. Since then, the French indie rockers conquered the festival circuit, dominated pop-culture with singles from Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, and singer Thomas Mars’ fathered he and Coppola’s second child, Cosima. Now, just weeks before the delivery of Somewhere at the Venice Film Festival, Italian Distributors of the film have finally detailed the soundtrack in question.
Not surprisingly, Phoenix’s “Love Like a Sunset” — the song which served as the film’s inspiration — has a heavy presence on the effort. Parts I and II act as bookends on the 16-song soundtrack, which also features music from Foo Fighters, The Police, Bryan Ferry, Gwen Stephani, Kiss, and Lost in Translation contributor William Storkson. Plus, The Strokes/Julian Casablancas demo “I’ll Try Anything Once” is included, and can be heard in the trailer below.
Phoenix will not be debuting any new songs on the soundtrack, and though the band previously noted that they would contribute “very small… very minimal pieces of music,” there’s no word on where or how it’s included. Either way, we’ll find out when Somewhere hits theaters on December 22nd.
