OST - Juno

ost-juno.jpgMuch as in the films of Wes Anderson, pop music plays a key acting role in the success of Juno, a lovingly quirky tale of generational clashes brought on by a pregnant teen and the yuppie couple who wish to adopt her baby. The songs on this soundtrack are a split between classics by the Kinks, Mott The Hoople and the Velvet Underground, and solo tunes by Kimya Dawson, ex- of the twee NYC band Moldy Peaches. Dawson's tunes prize off-key sincerity and winking wit over fidelity, but while her songs pale a little next to two by Belle and Sebastian, they represent Ellen Page's character with an innocent accuracy.
