Album Notes The drolly adorable movie comedy JUNO presses some of the same indie-film buttons as Zach Braff's GARDEN STATE and Wes Anderson's comedies of manners such as RUSHMORE and THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS. Unsurprisingly, it has a similarly fine soundtrack. There are seven new songs here by New York anti-folk singer-songwriter Kimya Dawson, including the jaunty but gently barbed "So Nice, So Smart." The rest of the soundtrack collects impressively deep tracks from a variety of hipster heroes, including Sonic Youth's outstandingly creepy cover of the Carpenters' "Superstar," Cat Power's take on the R&B ballad "Sea of Love," Buddy Holly's "Dearest," and Belle and Sebastian's "Piazza, New York Catcher." The soundtrack ends with the film's two stars, Ellen Page (THE TRACEY FRAGMENTS) and Michael Cera (SUPERBAD), singing a slightly reworked version of one of Dawson's older songs from her days as half of the Moldy Peaches, "Anyone Else But You." | Find errors in the product description?

Reviews  Juno CDReview created: 08/10/08 by: beefdawgkd27 ( 1 )  This cd is awesome!! I saw the movie and loved all the music in it, so I had to get the cd. It was totally worth it and its been in my cd player ever since. Review ID: 10000000008298086 Was this review helpful? Report this review I'm Sticking With YouIt's rare for a movie soundtrack to be flawless (I always end up hating at least one of the songs) but somehow Juno pulled it off. I think it's safe to say that the brilliant and prolific Kimya Dawson steals the show but cool classics from Sonic Youth, Belle & Sebastian, The Velvet Underground and The Kinks complete this amazing project. A must own for fans of all types of music. Review ID: 10000000008252454 Was this review helpful? Report this review Juno CD-movie soundtrackI was looking to buy this CD as soon as I saw the movie. The original songs were quirky , catchy and addictive. Loose Lips is the first anti war song that has appealed to me for many years. So Nice So Smart is terrific. There are many other appealing moments on this CD, easy to listen all the way through and impossible to resist singing along! Review ID: 10000000007766337 Was this review helpful? Report this review  The movie was better than the CDReview created: 06/23/08 by: When I was watching the movie, I really enjoyed the music. It was upbeat and different. Plus there were a couple of classic songs thrown in there. However, the CD didn't transfer well without the movie. Review ID: 10000000007678848 Was this review helpful? Report this review Fun, Folk soundReview created: 06/12/08 by: Went to the movies with my cousin Maria thought she was draging me to a real sleeper but "Juno" the movie was utterly opposite of my preconcieved notions, it was one of the greatest movies I had seen in a very long, long time. In addtion to the film "Juno" I was totally captured and amazed by the music. It had a folksy, serious and warm sound, kinda like down home to the heart of things, as I watched this great film I listen and loved this perfectly suited soundtrack. Much the music consists of songs with a couple of guitars, some simple instrumentations accompanied to great simple and natural voice lyrical singing. I am reminded that the music and the singing is like that of the historical 60s Hippy generation although in the form of contemporary "Free Love & Choice v. Politics", which also happens to be the movies theme. Of the 18 songs on the soundtrack I love 15, like two, and hate one. In my book thats a whopping 94.4% rating. It's a wonderful Soundtrack and worth its unique postion among my entire music collection. The only one really bad song on the CD was the mutilation of "Supertar" best done in my opinion by "The Carpenters". Although I must add the unsavory sound of the Superstar song does have a purpose in the movie. I thank the music director for his/ her selections of a unique wonderful and amazing compilation of the simplist of sounds, songs and voice, Love it!
