We first mentioned the soundtrack to Spike Jonze’s 30-minute robot love story, I’m Here, when the ASKA-soundtracked trailer dropped in January, noting a collaboration by Yeah Yeah Yeahs guitarist Nick Zinner and Red Hot Chili Peppers/Atoms for Peace bassist Flea on the film’s theme song, “There Are Many of Us,” as well as a then unknown contribution to the film’s score by Zinner as The Lost Trees. This week, Chocolate Industries announced the October 5 release of the I’m Here OST, a 9-track compilation that includes the above song and Of Montreal’s alternate (abridged) version of Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer? jam “The Past Is A Grotesque Animal” with Zinner, as well as selections by Girls, Animal Collective, Sleigh Bells, and others.

The I’m Here soundtrack isn’t the only forthcoming record with ASKA’s song, however, as the LA-based Moonrats/Sads member will release it on her debut solo EP via Manimal Vinyl on November 10. Meanwhile, she is streaming the entire 7-song effort, including “There Are Many of Us” (track 3) on Bandcamp. Pre-order the I’m Here OST here, watch the film thataway, and listen to ASKA’s album below:

Spike Jonze may have reached all new levels of notoriety with the success of his film adaptation of Maurice Sendak’s Where the Wild Things Are, but the director du jour isn’t going to let the wild rumpus end anytime soon. Premiering at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival tonight is Jonze’s next short film, I’m Here, a 30-minute “robot love story” featuring “a male robot liv[ing] a solitary and methodical life — devoid of creativity, joy and passion - until he meets an adventurous and free spirited female robot.”

Sounds nice and twee, right? Par for the course. But it gets better: I was watching the trailer and noticed that the music sounds awfully similar to Wild Things composer/Yeah Yeah Yeahs frontwoman Karen O. It isn’t her, as it turns out, but I was only one degree away…
