This is a song I wrote for my friend Libby Gery to sing. It appears in the film Sound of My Voice. Out today, April 27th. I composed the score for the film as well.
Q & A with Rostam on Sound of My Voice
Interviewer: Rostam, how much of the film's score is original?
Rostam Batmanglij: All of the music in the film was written by me, save for one song sung in the actual film by a cast member and the Hot Chip song, which appears at the end.
Interviewer: How and why did you that song to end the film?
Rostam Batmanglij: I didn't choose that song-Zal did. He had taken a trip up to San Francisco and listened to that song on repeat. It was a personal choice of his and I always love it when directors choose songs for their films themselves so I was really happy for it to be there. Films should involve a director's idiosyncrasies as much as possible I think. Zal is certainly one of those directors.
