Drag City has announced a soundtrack album for the documentary Whirlybird. The album features the film’s original music composed by Ty Segall. The soundtrack will be released digitally on February 22, 2022 and is now available for pre-order on Amazon. A first track (Story of the Century) is already available to stream/download now and can be checked out below. Whirlybird is produced and directed by Matt Yoka and centers on a husband-and-wife helicopter news team who covered some of the Los Angeles most historic events, and in doing so changed breaking news forever. The movie explores how the pair captured the city’s recent history and shines a light on the adrenaline-fueled culture of live news. The documentary premiered at last year’s Sundance Film Festival and was released last summer in select theaters, VOD and DVD last summer by Greenwich Entertainment.
