Is this the most anticipated surf move ever?
As most of the world waits (and watches Rob Machado on CNN and ESPN) for Rob’s new surf movie, The Drifter, at least we can start chomping on the musical delights through the soundtrack. The Drifter soundtrack, a stacked affair with the likes of The Raconteurs, Midlake, Tegan and Sara, The Shins and Matt Costa, is now available for download.

I can’t find the song from Chapter 4/23 from the Movie. It is not in this list of soundtrack, and it’s a really cool song. Also play the movie 8 minutes and you will find the spot, I used Shazam application and it didn’t recognized.
Do you guys know whose song this is? It is too awesome, also as a reference is in the scene where Rob has a beanie and is writing on the mirror the number of days in Ido, and write number 5 with the sticks count system. Please help me find this song….

Awesome soundtrack, just wanted to point out that the song “Roscoe” by Midlake is not the original version as featured on Van Occupanther, it’s the “Beyond the Wizards Sleeve” Remix.

Also missing from this soundtrack listing are three songs by Jon Swift: The opening scene: Ode To O’Rourke, the last scene: Living in The Unknown, and his song Looking in The Mirror is in the bonus section of the DVD. These songs and more are on an album called “The Drifter Sessions” which was being sold at The Drifter premieres. You can also buy it on Jon Swift’s website: http://www.jonswiftmusic.com or on iTunes.
