The soundtrack to Sofia Coppola's debut1999 psychological romantic film
The Virgin Suicides, which follows the lives of five adolescent sisters in an upper-middle-class suburb of Detroit during 1975.
This soundtrack features music from Todd Rundgren, Boston, Heart, Sloan, The Hollies, Al Green, Gilbert O'Sullivan, 10cc, Styx, and two tracks by Air, which includes a previously recorded material, and an original composition, especially for the film. Sofia
Coppola wanted to convey the theme of adolescence in the suburbs in the soundtrack. According to music consultant and former member of Air, Brian Reitzell, he wanted to select songs "that were not the songs that everyone thinks of at first, but ones that are a little more obscure. It was important to strike that intimate chord that transports you back to that period. But we also didn't want to be obvious with our choices. We didn't pick any stoner rock for the film, which is what everyone seems to be doing."
The soundtrack is released on Recycled Colour Vinyl for National Album Day.
