Background

edit

Music for 'Bubble is Pollard's first film music release. Pollard made contact with Soderbergh after the director mentioned in an interview his love for Pollard's music. Previously, Soderbergh had used a song from Pollard's band Guided by Voices in the closing credits of his film Full Frontal and had written an introduction to the book "Guided by Voices: A Brief History."[1]

In 2004, Soderbergh attended a show on the Guided by Voices farewell tour, The Electrifying Conclusion, where the two met. Initially, Soderbergh was inspired by the film's setting in Ohio, where Pollard was based, to ask the musician for a song to go with a specific bar scene. However, Pollard ended up sending Soderbergh a CD with 47 new songs, which the director picked from.[1]
