From the Department of Awesome (which, if this and this are anything to go by, seems to be mostly cobwebs these days) comes this little news gem of Yeah Yeah Yeahs leading lady Karen O. scoring the soundtrack to the Spike Jonze-helmed Where the Wild Things Are. Billing herself and her ragtag team of collaboras as Karen O. and the Kids, the motley crew's first single off the film's soundtrack, "All Is Love," is out August 25, with the soundtrack coming out the following month, and the film itself the month after that.

Some of said Kids include members of Queens of Stone Age, the bird & the bee, and the Raconteurs, along with an untrained children's choir. Karen O. explains about working with Jonze, “I guess there is a childlike innocence about my music or my persona that he always just kind of dialed into. To play on it and it was a really amazing experience and I think what he has accomplished with the film is basically the impossible. There’s a lot of stuff that they told me Spike couldn’t do that he did it anyway and it was a really inspiring and exciting thing to be a part of.”

Although this wouldn't be the first time former lovebirds Karen O. and Jonze would be collaborating; last time, they combined forces for sneakers.
