KAREN O & THE KIDS Where The Wild Things Are (Deleted 2009 US exclusive 14-track LP pressed on 180gram VIRGIN VINYL; inside Karen O is a Wild Thing – as singer for the Grammy-nominated Yeah Yeah Yeahs, her wild thing is in your face, vulnerable, obnoxious, tender, exciting...a self-proclaimed 'spazoid.' To Oscar-nominated director Spike Jonze, however, Karen O and her music possess something of a child-like innocence, a guileless charm that put her exactly on the right emotional wavelength to sonically capture the film. To compose the music, O enlisted friends and fellow musicians she believed had a musical intuition that would bolster her intent to marry sound to vision. Dubbed Karen O and the Kids, these include Tristan Bechet [Services], Tom Biller [co-producer with Karen O and member of Afternoons], Bradford Cox [Deerhunter], Brian Chase [Yeah Yeah Yeahs], Dean Fertita [Queens of the Stone Age, Dead Weather, Raconteurs], Greg Kurstin [The Bird and the Bee], Jack Lawrence [Dead Weather, Raconteurs, Greenhornes], Nick Zinner [Yeah Yeah Yeahs] and an untrained children's choir.
