Bon Iver's "Heavenly Father" for New Braff Film

One of my favorite artists of all time, Bon Iver, released a new song that will appear on the soundtrack for Zach Braff's new movie, Wish I Was Here. WIWH is supposed to be a follow up to 2004's immensely popular Garden State. Frontman Justin Vernon's influence is obvious, but I think it's interesting that this song sounds a little more produced than the material from past albums.

You can watch the movie's trailer below.



Other artists, such as Cat Power and Coldplay, The Shins, The Weepies, and Badly Drawn Boy, have also contributed to the soundtrack. The full listing can be found here.

It's amazing how soundtracks can truly enhance or take away from a movie.

Some of my favorites are Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, Virgin Suicides, American Hustle (playlist below), Almost Famous, Into the Wild and, of course Garden State.
