Various Artists Wish I Was Here (Music From The Motion Picture)

Braff told us via email, "It's no secret I am a giant fan of The Shins. For this film, I asked James Mercer if he would consider writing something original, inspired by his first impression of seeing the film. Not only did he say yes, but what he came back with gives me goosebumps every time I hear it. He is a savant."

Wish I Was Here, which has a screenplay written by Zach Braff and his brother Adam, is a followup to Garden State in spirit though not in plot. It's the story of a 30-something father trying to find purpose in his life. Funding for the film was through a very successful Kickstarter project raising over $3 million from over 46,000 contributors. This was their way of keeping control of the cast and the production of the film — not to mention its soundtrack — in Braff's hands. "As a music lover, nothing has been more gratifying than collaborating on this project with my favorite artists. Between The Shins, Bon Iver, Cat Power and Coldplay ... I never dreamed I'd get to work with so many of my favorite musicians on Wish I Was Here," Braff wrote.

The film will be released on July 18. The soundtrack will be out on July 15 (you can pre-order it now through the movie's website or iTunes). Here's a track listing below. We'll be rolling out new songs by Bon Iver and that Cat Power/Coldplay collaboration over the next few weeks.
