New Zach Condon & Perrin Cloutier - "The 11th Arrondissement" (Stereogum Premiere)

Zach Condon and Beirut's Perrin Cloutier contributed this sweet, ostensibly Parisian-themed instrumental track "The 11th Arrondissement" to the Paper Heart soundtrack. As the song fades gently to black, you might be left wanting Condon to break into a croon, but the steady trumpets and tiny kalimba/toy box plucks are clearly the background to something tender or tenderly sad happening to Michael Cera and Charlyne Yi on the big screen. (Though judging from the comments girls leave at Condon's MySpace, he'd likely be the preferred male lead.) The soundtrack includes a bunch of incidental music by Cera and Yi as well as a new song and plenty of additional songwriting/scoring by ex-Unicorn Alden Penner. For now, though, "The 11th Arrondissement."

The tracklist:

01 "The Beginning" - Michael Cera, Michael Cassady, Alden Penner, Adam Etinson
02 "Hope" - Michael Cera, Charlyne Yi, Alden Penner
