Thumbsucker Soundtrack

Originally slated to make the music for this soundtrack was singer/songwriter Elliot Smith but sadly passed. Tim DeLaughter and The Polyphonic Spree was to pick up the pieces after the struggling director Mike Mills discovered them by attending one of their shows. The music provided compliments the film very well, the sound goes good with the "highschool teenager in suburbia life" and fits with every scene especially ending with the very powerful running scene with "Move Away & Shine" playing. With three songs left from Smith kind of gives you an idea of how the soundtrack could have been but in my opinion was better off left with the spree.
Favorite Songs- "Move Away & Shine" "Some of the Parts" "Scream & Shout" "Lets Get Lost" "Acceptance"
10/10
