This soundtrack by Badly Drawn Boy has the delightfully messy sound purveying the aura of an adolescent’s recently-cleaned (but by no means perfect) room. In that way, it’s the perfect accompaniment to a rather unusual coming-of-age movie.

Like a slightly disorganized room, it’s a bit messy but in a comfortable way. The soundtrack has a distinctive sound—it has a bit of a lovely fifties-optimistic-rock meets acoustic-alternative thing going on.

When you’re looking for a happy-go-lucky acoustic set, this is a good one to pick up. One worth adding to your collection. It manages to strike a balance between instrumental numbers and sung numbers in a startlingly carefree sort of way.

One warning: you may want to listen to this music when you’re already happy. It’s the sort of music that may very well add to your irritation, depression, or anger (and make you want to throw it against the wall) if you listen to it when you’re already in a bad mood. It’s happy music rather than pick-me-up music.

But it really is the perfect accompaniment to a sunny summer afternoon. Just make sure you’re in a good mood first.
