People have asked if I'm going to release a soundtrack for The Shopkeeper. Yes, but in a DIY way, for two reasons. Firstly, it's a huge job to obtain the rights to all the songs for release. Secondly, and more important: the best way to support an artist is to buy their work directly from them.
So! Here is a list of every song in the film with a link to a place you can obtain it.
Some of the music is unreleased. I'm sorry! If you love a song you can't get, maybe you can email the artist and tell them you'd buy it if you could!
