The team behind movie We
Bought A Zoo may be disappointed with their marketing decisions (another
Dad in the dumps too close to The
Descendants or maybe people just don’t want to see Matt Damon in that
role?) But they can’t blame Jónsi
for not coming through with epic, heart-warming music for the soundtrack. A video for one of the two original tracks
created for the score, “Gathering Stories,” is now out via some inventive
animation by Crush Creative. It shows a
fantastical world of colorful creatures in an Icelandic-like snowy landscape in
similar hues to Jónsi’s homeland and stage design when we caught his show at
Moogfest 2010. This song was actually written with director Cameron Crowe, perhaps a lyrical collaboration or
decisions in the final production. I just know I'd love to be in that room while it happened!
