Album Description
"A showcase for new music that’s fallen under the mainstream radar." ("All Things Considered," NPR, April 24, 2004) Musically the hippest show on TV, "The O.C." spawns the edgiest album yet from the unprecedented Music From The O.C. series. Headlining Mix 4 is a new song from alt-rock superstar Beck, "Scarecrow," co-written and co-produced with The Dust Brothers, and "Decent Days And Nights" from post-punk pop’s The Futureheads. Two other tracks also debut—chamber-pop quintet Matt Pond PA unveils its cover of "Champagne Supernova," the mid-’90s #1 Modern Rocker from Oasis, and ethereal alt-rocker Imogen Heap (half of the band Frou Frou) offers "Goodnight And Go." Music From The O.C.: Mix 4 is as sharp as Marissa and as cool as Seth.

Customer Reviews

its ok
its a good CD if you like indie music!

if you like the OC soundtracks, you should definately check out the One tree hill soundtracks...even if you dont watch the show, they have a perfect mix of indie and some more popular bands songs (plus Vol.2 donates some of the proceeds from the purchase to womens breast cancer research)!

all in all 3/5

Wheezer?
Is there any OC mix that has Wheezer's song Beverly Hills on it? I could have sworn that the OC mix 4 had that song????!! I was going to buy it b/c of that song!

Once again. The Kids Are Alright
I don't watch the O.C. I have nothing against it, I just never seem to see it. But I always hear things about how good the music is, so I figured I'd check out this soundtrack.

Awesome. They put the kids in charge. Sufjan Stephens?? Matt Pond PA?? How did the hipsters land that job of Music Supervisor? However they did, we can be grateful.

Lots of times these days, the best place to hear and discover new great music is on TV shows and on Commercials (you know, besides the internet). I don't know when MTV is gonna catch on already!

In the meantime, soundtracks like this will have to pave the way. Next year's season, look out for Apollo Sunshine, School for the Dead, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, and the Lucksmiths. I betcha.
