Scala and Kolacny Brothers

I recently watched the trailer for the new Facebook movie (ok, it's actually called The Social Network). The music fits perfectly, and is a beautiful rendition of Radiohead's Creep. So I looked it up. It's done by Scala and Kolacny Brothers, which despite the masculine name, is actually a Belgian girls choir. They have a few albums where they cover pop music, and if their version of Creep is any indication of what their stuff is like, I would like to buy their discography...immediately.

If you read my music posts much or ever listened to my radio show, you know there are some specific characteristics of music that will suck me in pretty assuredly. Beautiful, layered, choral harmonies are included in that list. So this is sort of a sure thing.

By the way, the movie actually looks really good. My first thought was, "A movie about Mark Zuckerberg, really? Who the hell cares about that guy?" But it really does look good. So I guess the answer is me. I guess I care...or at the very least am intrigued.
