The latest and great movie soundtrack to feature our favorite indie musicians will come in the form of 180° South, a forthcoming Chris Malloy-directed documentary about adventurers in Patagonia.
Modest Mouse frontman Isaac Brock’s side-project Ugly Casanova contributed eight songs to the film’s soundtrack while Shins/Broken Bells leader James Mercer shares two, one of which is a cover of Neil Young’s “Journey Through the Past”. Jack Johnson!, Love as Laughter, and Mason Jennings will also be heard on the soundtrack when it sees release on June 22nd via Brushfire.
According to a press release (via P4k), 180° South “retraces Yvon Chouinard’s and Doug Tompkins’ epic 1968 journey to Patagonia through the eyes of adventurer Jeff Johnson.” In addition, the film also involves efforts to protect Patagonia from development.
