TRACK OF THE NIGHT: Hideaway


Karen O And The Kids / Hideaway

It really seems like good, well thought out movie soundtracks are finally on the increase. Where The Wild Things Are is no exception as Karen O of Yeah Yeah Yeahs fame takes control, creating a truly magical soundtrack for a truly magical film. Hideaway is a beautifully laid back track full of gentle emotion and introspection. Karen O is on sterling form, proving yet again that she can not only scream but she can also purr as her vocals gently float across the track's delicate backdrop of acoustic guitars, plodding drums and a twinkling xylophone. Hideaway as a whole sounds very reminiscent of Fleetwood Mac's classic Albatross and seems like the perfect summation of Karen O's talents as a heartfelt storyteller. Poignantly wonderful.
