We just went to see the clever, funny, and incredibly charming 'Warm Bodies' this weekend (review forthcoming), but a post about the soundtrack just couldn't wait. Throughout the film we just kept turning to each other with variations on "this soundtrack is kind of AMAZING."
Even though some of the tracks seem like the contents of any self-respecting (or is that self-disrespecting?) hipster's iPod-- Bon Iver, M83, Feist, The National-- the difference lies in that it all feels amazingly genuine. (And yes, even with the use of Dylan and Springsteen, which is quite the feat.) This isn't as painfully self-aware as the 'Garden State' soundtrack, for example, but seems to have more of a Sofia Coppola kind of thoughtful sincerity to it (Also, sorry. Our biases are showing.)
An official soundtrack for "Warm Bodies" hasn't been released, but The Playlist has helpfully compiled all the songs in one place for your listening pleasure right here.
Bottom line? The music enhances the film, and the film enhances the music. A pretty great blend, if you ask us.
