NEW YORK, June 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Columbia Records, a division of Sony Music Entertainment, has announced the release of Wish I Was Here—Music From The Motion Picture, the official soundtrack to the first movie directed by Zach Braff since his indie breakout hit Garden State.

The original screenplay for Wish I Was Here is by the director and his brother Adam. A success at this year's Sundance Film Festival, the new movie tells a funny, touching, universal story of what it means to be at a major crossroads as a parent, spouse, and child – all at once.

The Wish I Was Here soundtrack showcases music hand-picked by Zach Braff, including exclusive new songs from The Shins, Bon Iver, and Cat Power + Coldplay. Wish I Was Here —Music From The Motion Picture will be available in stores and digitally Tuesday, July 15. A special 12" double gatefold, 180 gram vinyl version of the soundtrack will be released Tuesday, August 5.

In addition, Legacy Recordings, the catalog division of Sony Music Entertainment, will celebrate the 10th anniversary of Zach Braff's Garden State with the first-ever 12" vinyl release of the movie's Grammy Award-winning and era-defining soundtrack album. The soundtrack features songs from The Shins, Coldplay, Simon & Garfunkel, Iron & Wine and Zero 7; it has sold nearly 1.5 million copies in the U.S. and is certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America.
