The new movie "Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist" is the story of two teenagers who bond over their love for music. Together, Nick and Norah (and a few of their friends), search New York City for Where's Fluffy?, a local, publicity-shy band, creating a personal soundtrack of their own as the love story unfolds.
The film's soundtrack bolsters the film's scenario, turning the movie's characters into the sideshow, and the "infinite playlist" into the main attraction.
The soundtrack consists mostly of indie rock performers (Vampire Weekend, Shout Out Louds, Band Of Horses and Bishop Allen), leaving only a few songs to fall into other categories: ska-punk (The Dead '60s), folk-rock (Devendra Banhart) and jazz-cabaret (The Real Tuesday Weld). The first track, "Speed Of Sound" is a special one, belonging to the late Chris Bell, a '70s power-pop legend in his own right.
While creating the soundtrack, director Peter Sollett wanted to develop the ultimate playlist, so that every person who sees the film can relate with the characters' love for music.
With a wide variety of music genres and artists, "Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist" is exactly what it claims to be: infinite.
