Music reviews of Little Miss Sunshine
Music Review: A wonderful soundtrack
Rating: 5 Stars
LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE is one of my favorite films from last year. I was laughing all the way through the dark comedy. I also enjoyed the music as much as I enjoyed the film. The soundtrack consists of instrumentals, indie pop, and dance music. Up until the movie, I had never heard of the artist Devotchka. I was reminded a bit of Iron & Wine and The Shins with his brand of indie pop/folk music. The film score by Michael Danna was just as good. I especially enjoyed track #6 "Let Go" which had a bit of a Parisian feel. I have to admit that the songs "Catwalkin'" and "Superfreak" sounded a bit out of play on a soundtrack filled mostly with melancholy indie pop and instrumentals but I still enjoyed listening to the songs, especially "Superfreak (Rocasound Revamp" by Rick James because I always think of that hilarious scene where Abigail Breslin's character is on stage with her dance routine. Great film, great soundtrack.
Description of Little Miss Sunshine
Don't be fooled by the "various artists" credited as performing on this soundtrack: the CD actually has a rather uniform tone, and mercifully it's a lovely one. Composer Mychael Danna is paired with the Denver band DeVotchKa, who perform his score and offer a few tunes of their own. Making excellent use of strings, tuba, and squeezebox, they set a mood that echoes the movie's warmly idiosyncratic one. On top of that, it's hard not to like DeVotchKa's singer Nick Urata, whose high-lonesome croon falls somewhere between Roy Orbison and the Magnetic Fields' Stephin Merritt. Sensitive indie troubadour Sufjan Stevens contributes two wonderful songs that display his usual flair for clever arrangements, especially "No Man's Land." Wait, did I say "uniform tone"? A pair of uptempo dance numbers interrupt the flow toward the end: Tony Tisdale's "Catwalkin'" and a remix of Rick James's classic "Superfreak"--the effect of that song suddenly barging in is akin to hearing Jamiroquai's "Canned Heat" in Napoleon Dynamite. --Elisabeth VincentelliGeneral CDs
