I believe that track is the same one running on the RESTLESS site.
Saw the film recently. It was OK, but nothing remarkable considering it’s van Sant.
No, the website track is slower, less manic, more wistful, only strings, guitar and bells–maybe a loop from a more poignant moment in the film.
Yes, great news. I’ve had the RESTLESS suite for some time (basically copied from the film’s website, running in the background), but it was about time it got a proper release. This is the particular Elfman sound I prefer these days. I already have TAKING WOODSTOCK, but maybe I can give it to someone else for free.
Hopefully, I’ll be able to order before it sells out.
Looking forward to this. I enjoy the expanded releases, but it’s wonderful to see an entirely new release.
Thank you, LLL
Interesting. I couldn’t get through the film, felt too much like Van Sant light, so I don’t really know what’s in store. Obviously enough to merit an (eventual) release. Excited for it, anyway.

total album time: 34:25I ordered it today, waiting for it. I only saw the film once in the cinema, so I don’t really remember this score…
Weepy Donuts plays over the end credits, it’s really lovely. The movie also has a song for the main titles, so Elfman’s take wasn’t used.
First impression: Very charming!
Having not seen the film, I was struck by how much this album was more a soundtrack and less a score. A few tracks sounded as if they were driven by narrative, but mostly the album felt like a series of pieces commissioned for an art installation. ( I honestly kept thinking “This would be a fantastic ringtone.” ) Beautiful music from Danny Elfman. I highly recommend buying this release.
Of course I bought it immediately. This is exactly the kind of Elfman (and music in general) I like to listen to these days.
It’s quite enjoyable. I think its short length helps to make it a very pleasant listening experience. Themes are delicate and the score has just enough variety to avoid being boring.
Definitely a good surprise. And I got my Taking Woodstock copy as well…
I received it today, and agree with you all, it’s really a good one. Same “spirit” and mood as in “Promised Land”, and that can explain that I didn’t remember it, it’s not so obvious to be attentive to it in the movie I think.
Very agreable listening.
