In case you weren’t yet excited about seeing The Bling Ring due to Hermione Granger’s out-of-character turn as an obnoxious millennial, then this new bit of news about the film might win you over. Self-Titled reports that Daniel Lopatin, a.k.a. Oneohtrix Point Never, who has been relatively quiet since his 2011 album Replica (#1 on TMT’s 2011 favorite albums list), has been (in addition to his forthcoming new album!) spending time away working hard to score the Sofia Coppola-directed film alongside her usual musical supervisor Brian Reitzell. Early reviews of the film, which debuted at Cannes this week, describe it as calculatedly detached, non-judgmental when it comes to the blatantly illegal, though victimless, crime spree the film revolves around. Sounds like a good fit to me!
While Reitzell and Coppola took a fairly unconventional route for the score, the soundtrack for the film goes out of its way to include a bevy of well known “indie” acts (Sleigh Bells, M.I.A.), hit-makers (Kanye), and super-hot-right-this-minute artists (Azealia Banks, Rye Rye, Frank Ocean), plus a new track from Mr. Composer himself, Oneohtrix Point Never — squee! Basically par for the course for a Coppola film soundtrack. Check out the full tracklist for the soundtrack below, and seek a break from the summer heat by going to see the movie when it hits theaters June 14. Need another reason? Paris Hilton cameo.
