Don't know if it's old, new, or unreleased music yet.

As per Variety,

"The We and the I" finds pop-surrealist auteur Michel Gondry getting real with non-pro teen thesps, cast as chatty Bronx kids coming home from school on what seems to be the slowest city bus on earth.

"Relatively relaxed songs by Boards of Canada help the film -- or allow it, some would say -- to segue into dramatic territory. "

Yeah I talked about it yesterday in the speculations thread, I saw the film.

the Boc tracks that are used in the film are : "Satellite anthem icarus"(twice), "over the horizon radar" and "Ready let's go" (twice too). Ready let's go is used in a longer version than in the album, but it's certainly just a loop version.

That's an interesting combination. Michel Gondry's films definitely cover some themes that I find in BoC's music such as childhood imagination, dreams and nostalgic memories.
