Lis­ten to a com­pi­la­tion album of cov­ers from Sofia Cop­po­la films

In case you hadn’t heard, the great Amer­i­can direc­tor Sofia Cop­po­la has a new film out this year. It’s called The Beguiled, and it’s one of the year’s very best. To cel­e­brate its immi­nent release, Super Fan 99 Records have announced a movie themed 50^th release inspired by the films of Sofia Cop­po­la, com­pris­ing cov­ers of songs fea­tured in her movies.

Here’s what the label had to tell us about the release:

“We’ve been long time admir­ers of Sofia Coppola’s movies since rent­ing The Vir­gin Sui­cides from our local Block­buster. Film after film was sound­tracked with the most impec­ca­ble selec­tions play­ing a key role in the over­all aes­thet­ic of her movies. It seems the part the music plays in trans­port­ing you to her worlds has not gone unno­ticed with the vinyl sound­tracks of Lost In Trans­la­tion and Marie Antoinette some­times sell­ing for up to £300 a piece.

“We asked bands from our label and beyond to choose songs from the sound­tracks and cov­er them for this unique release and the response was great. Bands from as far a field as Chi­na, New Zealand and Scot­land have con­tributed tracks rang­ing from lo-fi bed­room 4 track record­ings to full band stu­dio ver­sions and we are now very excit­ed to present ​‘Sofia Songs’ The com­pi­la­tion marks the 50^th release on the label and per­fect­ly mar­ries our love of film and DIY music culture.”

Illus­tra­tor and long time Super Fan col­lab­o­ra­tor Kier­an Gabriel has designed the sleeve and each boxed cas­sette copy will also include a movie script style guide book with detailed facts on each movie and it’s music. Songs by Air, Phoenix, Frank Ocean, My Bloody Valen­tine and many more reworked by your favourite Super Fan bands, what’s not to love? And just in time for the release of The Beguiled on 14 July.
