The Shins, Bon Iver on Zach Braff’s Wish I Was Here soundtrack
The pairing of The Shins and Zach Braff made for a runaway success in 2004 with Braff’s hit film Garden State, and now, ten years later, the Shins are part of another new Braff project. Braff’s new film, Wish I Was Here, will be released July 18, and its soundtrack — out July 15th on CD, and Aug. 8 on vinyl — features new music from The Shins, Bon Iver and a collaboration between Cat Power and Coldplay, as well as classic tracks from Paul Simon and Badly Drawn Boy.
