If there is one thing that Wes Anderson likes — besides yellow, Futura, precocious teen nerd kings, and [insert your favorite Wes Anderson trope here] — it is a memorable soundtrack. So now let’s all geek out over the just released track list for Moonrise Kingdom, which includes a score by composer Alexandre Desplat (who worked on Fantastic Mr. Fox; Pitchfork has a track, if you’re interested), several choral works by Benjamin Britten, and a handful of Hank Williams tracks. Oh, and yé-yé is still happening, if the Françoise Hardy song is any indication. Full list below.
