Soundtrack list?

I saw the premiere of Assassination at Sundance (loved it) and was wondering if anyone had a soundtrack listing for the film. I tried to take down notes from the credits, but there were way too many tracks. I'd appreciate any help anyone could offer- Thanks!
Agree with post in other thread about it being similar to Brick, but the dialogue is much simpler in Assassination (as is the plot) and the noir elements are watered down quite a bit. Both good films, but Brick is my clear favorite of the two. Strong performances by "Funke" and Bruce.

Thanks again for any soundtrack help! Particularly the song playing during the school dance/prom.

Well, during filming, the song that was playing was The Funeral by Band of Horses. I'm guessing they used the same one for the film, but anyways..it's a great song, definitely one of my favorites!

I think one of the songs in the film is called "Memphis Sun," by the band The Black Summer Crush.

I know they either used or are planning on using some music by The Prids.

Hi,

I am one of the soundtrack artists that contributed the song during the "kiss in the nurses office" scene. The song is called "Amrit Naam" and can be previewed on my site at:

That facebook link is BS. Anyone have a song list or link to the songlist?

Great movie BTW!
