The Movie, The Music | August 2015

The Movie, The Music is a new feature where we compile the best tracks from recent movies, trailers, and TV for your aural enjoyment. It’s not just about what you see; it’s about what you hear.

In this edition of The Movie, The Music we go full-on classical and also a little bit chic with cuts from True Detective‘s second season and indie hits like The Overnight. There’s also an abundance of electronica to be found (M83), unashamed pop belters (Walk The Moon), and even a healthy helping of jazz (Nina Simone, D.German).
