Wes Anderson's new film The Grand Budapest Hotel will debut to a wide audience on March 7, but it's already gathered acclaim typical of Anderson films at all of the festivals it's shown at. Fans are aware that the director puts just as much attention into the soundtracks for his films as he does to the quirky visuals. Fans can check out the full score, which is streaming at Pitchfork.com.
Some things remain the same as previous releases: Anderson co-produced the soundtrack with Randall Poster, the man who's served as music supervisor for the director quite some time. And, once again, the original pieces for the score were composed by Alexandre Desplat, who worked with Anderson for the films Moonrise Kingdom and Fantastic Mr. Fox. Aside from Desplat's compositions, there are also a number of Russian folk songs and performances from the Osipov State Russian Folk Orchestra.
Now, the title of the album is The Grand Budapest Hotel Original Soundtrack, which means that the 30 tracks listed below aren't necessarily the only music featured in the film. There could still be those random retrospective pop tracks that seem to pop up in many of Anderson's films, but frequent collaborator Mark Mothersbaugh isn't featured in the film's credits either, so this could be all there is.
The full track list is below, and again, head to Pitchfork.com to stream the album.
