What’s the Story?

NICK AND NORAH'S INFINITE PLAYLIST SOUNDTRACK features tracks from various indie rock artists, including Vampire Weekend, Band of Horses, We Are Scientists, Bishop Allen, and Devendra Banhart. Other featured musicians include Richard Hawley, The Real Tuesday Weld, and the late Chris Bell -- plus, there's a previously unreleased track from newbie L.A.-based band Army Navy and a piece from the film's score, performed by Mark Mothersbaugh (Devo, Royal Tenenbaums, Yo Gabba Gabba!).

Is It Any Good?

If you loved the soundtracks to Garden State and Juno, chances are you'll fall hard for this one, too. It's chock full of eclectic, indie tracks that -- with their mix of easy synthesizing, mesmerizing vocals, and addictive hooks -- will please even elitist musical aficionados.

Chris Bell's "Speed of Sound" is both depressing and beautiful, "Lover" is a fun, funky track about sex, and "Negative" will have you laughing, dancing, and scratching your head. Overall, the album provides quite a mix of different sounds to offer listeners not only a great ride of emotions, but also inspiration for new dance moves. The songs are both introspective and enchanting and will keep you listening over and over.
