Score! Yo La Tengo to Compile Film Score Projects

By: Spacelab Research Staff

Matador Records and Yo La Tengo have decided that it's high time put Yo La Tengo's film score work on to a handy, all-in-one compilation. Titled They Shoot, We Score, it will feature 27 pieces of music with artwork from the films.

"Nearly an hour of instrumental music. 27 tracks — 26 of them previously unreleased. Eight-page booklet features posters from around the world. Four different front covers, one for each movie. Don’t collect them all, and don’t ask for a specific one — they will be sent out according to a random-number generator by our blindfolded mail-order crew," reads the announcement from Matador.

They Shoot, We Score is due out on September 5th via the Egon imprint.
