As we’ve mentioned many, many times. We’re big fans of lyrical indie-director David Gordon Green and his go-to music composer David Wingo of the folky, indie group Ola Podrida.
So, we’ve been clocking Green’s newest film, “Snow Angels” ever since it premiered in Brooklyn last May (and we were lucky enough to catch it then).
As we’ve mentioned more than a few times, Green has some great taste in selecting songs for film and ‘Angels’ is not much different including atmospheric tracks by A Silver Mt.

“Snow Angels” hits theaters in limited release this Friday, March 8. After the experimental, but uneven, “Undertow,” director David Gordon Green is back in fine form and you can read our original review here. Green’s next film is a creative, left-turn comedy for producer/writer Judd Apatow called “Pineapple Express,” due in late summer. Wingo’s Ola Podrida recently contributed a cover of Joy Division’s “Atmosphere,” to the closing credits of the horror film, “The Signal.”
