His take on Sex Bob-Omb was sort of an attempt to channel his childhood favorites. “You can’t really tell.”īeck immediately got the vision. The goal of the colorful visual and audio mix: “You’re basically supposed to buy into the idea that they might be amazing, or they might be crap,” Godrich said. I tried to make the sound visualized as a school-book doodle.” If you’re doodling guitarists, the sound always comes out like lightning bolts. “When we would describe the effects, I would say it should look like a 14-year-old’s idea of a rock band. “Whenever I see the way Bryan visualizes music, they feel like a punk-pop number that people could knock off in 10 minutes,” said Wright, who added comic-book effects to every hit on the drum or strike of a guitar. The lyrics “I’m so indefatigable,” for instance, which are from the song “Indefatigable,” of course, are taken from the second book in the series. The few lyrics O’Malley provided take a more snotty, punk-leaning tone, and Beck said he tried to incorporate some into the songs he cut for the movie. The band’s lead singer, Stephen Stills ( Mark Webber), wails away at an acoustic guitar, which Beck said he took as a nod to the Breeders, whose Kim Deal is known for distorting and amplifying her acoustic instrument. O’Malley’s universe offered a few clues to the Sex Bob-Omb sound. When I was writing the songs, I was looking at frames from the comic book.”

“The problem you see in films about garage bands or fledgling bands is that you can tell how pro the music is,” Beck said. Godrich turned to longtime friend and collaborator Beck to knock out the songs that would ultimately be branded Sex Bob-Omb. The sludgy, self-depricating “Garbage Truck” scores one the film’s most pivotal early scenes, when Pilgrim is introduced to the first evil ex. The sloppy, fuzz-laden anthem “We Are Sex Bob-Omb” opens the movie, playing over an extended credit sequence.

The songs of Sex Bob-Omb, six of which are on the ABKCO soundtrack, to be released today, anchor the film. “Whenever you see a band in a movie, the music is barely passable.” “It can be such a miss when bands are supposed to be good,” said Cera, whose Pilgrim must battle the seven “evil” exes of the object of his obsession, Ramona Flowers ( Mary Elizabeth Winstead). But when the fictional band Sex Bob-Omb takes the stage at dingy dive bars - Pilgrim is the act’s bassist - the actor knew that any sense of rock authenticity could be lost the moment he struck his instrument. Cera’s lovelorn Pilgrim struts his musical knowledge at Toronto’s famed indie store Sonic Boom, one of the many real-life locales used in the film. When Michael Cera’s namesake character takes a girl on a date, they go to an old-fashioned, bricks-and-mortar record store to thumb through CD racks.Ĭapturing the look was comparatively easy.

In this 99-cent-single-obsessed download era, the inhabitants of “Scott Pilgrim” geek out over albums. Wright’s attention to rock detail extends beyond its roster of artists. Silver Lake’s genre-hopper Beckand Canadian indie-pop act Broken Social Scene were among those tapped to contribute original music, and acclaimed electro-rock act Metric donated an unreleased cut.

One will certainly have a hard time claiming that Wright’s adaption of Bryan Lee O’Malley’s six-part comic series doesn’t take its music seriously. In other words, does the rock in “Scott Pilgrim vs. So is this as good as ‘Spinal Tap’? That was my internal discussion.” They’re playing, they look like they’re playing and the songs work. My benchmark was ‘This Is Spinal Tap.’ That’s the best ever realized band in a film.

“It just didn’t look like they were playing.

“I was just thinking about how terrible it looked,” Godrich said. It only made him feel more out of his element. On one visit to the Toronto set of the film, Godrich caught the Johnny Cash biopic “Walk the Line” on a plane. There were moments when Godrich couldn’t help but wonder whether he was setting himself up for failure. Godrich was entrusted by director Edgar Wright to oversee what would ultimately become the backbone of “Scott Pilgrim vs. “It’s always terrible,” Godrich said of movies that contain an artificial group. But the name that was perhaps far more intimidating? Sex Bob-Omb, a pretend group concocted for “Scott Pilgrim vs. Paul McCartney, U2, Radiohead, R.E.M., Air, Beck and Pavement are just a few of the artists that grace his resume. The real challenge is the acts that never were. Nigel Godrich has had no problem working with what some would consider the best artists ever.
