“OMFGG – ORIGINAL MUSIC FEATURED ON GOSSIP GIRL NO. 1,” is the
first companion soundtrack to the hit CW series, Gossip
Girl. The album features an array of tracks from a range
of today’s most intriguing new artists, including the Virgins, the
Republic Tigers, Phantom Planet, the Kills, and the Ting Tings.
“OMFGG – ORIGINAL MUSIC FEATURED ON GOSSIP GIRL NO. 1” became
available digitally on September 2nd – one day after the hugely
anticipated Season 2 premiere of Gossip Girl. The
soundtrack will then arrive in stores everywhere on CD on October
28th.
Compiled by Gossip Girl creators Stephanie Savage and
Josh Schwartz, along with Gossip Girl's music supervisor
extraordinaire Alexandra Patsavas (Chuck, The O.C, Grey's
Anatomy, Mad Men), “OMFGG – ORIGINAL MUSIC FEATURED ON
GOSSIP GIRL NO. 1” gathers together a remarkable selection of
forward-thinking young bands, such as Crystal Castles, Oppenheimer,
and the Teenagers. Among the soundtrack’s many highlights is a
booming cover of Siouxsie & the Banshees’ classic “Cities In
Dust,” performed by the one-and-only Junkie XL.
Of course, it wouldn’t be a true Gossip Girl soundtrack
without some of NYC’s best and brightest. Among the New
Yorkers represented are the Pierces and the Strokes’ Albert Hammond
Jr. What’s more, the album features an early version of the
Virgins’ “One Week of Danger,” originally found on the acclaimed
Big Apple-based band’s now-impossible-to-find self-released EP.
All songs on “OMFGG – ORIGINAL MUSIC FEATURED ON GOSSIP GIRL
NO. 1” were initially featured throughout the breakthrough first
