Wes Anderson’s movies always have very evocative soundtracks that follow characters’ emotion journeys. This mix (which was a collaboration with DJ Virginia Plain) is for an imaginary film about ten year old Olivia Taylor, who copes with the death of their mother and feelings of isolation by starting a pirate radio station from their bedroom.

Featuring tracks from the Kinks, Sparks, the New York Dolls, Paul Simon and many more.
