Karen O’s massively-hyped, star-studded soundtrack for Where the Wild Things Are is already available for streaming in its entirety, (Where the Wild Things Are soundtrack) but as a teaser for the project, which includes Dead Weather members Dean Fertita, Jack “Little Jack” Lawrence, and fellow Yeah Yeah Yeahs members Nick Zinner and Brian Chase, Karen and Co. have put together a behind-the-scenes making-of clip that captures a taste of the unique energy flavors behind the music.

In a fun little clip, Jonze and O give a glimpse into the making of the project, billed as Karen O And The Kids. The soundtrack was highly inspired by the Langley Schools Music Project, a critically acclaimed album of David Bowie, Beach Boys, Fleetwood Mac, and other covers recorded by Canadian school children.

"I didn't want to make music that was hammering you over the head or go for some kind of pushbutton emotion," O said in the statement. "What I initially wanted to do was close to Cat Stevens in Harold & Maude: really simple, but memorably and seamlessly woven into the movie. Working with all these highly-empathetic musicians over of a couple of years on this soundtrack was a lesson in the power of collaboration."

Talking to MTV News, Karen said the involvement of director and ex-boyfriend Jonze was the main reason she signed up to produce the music for the film.

"I got involved because of Spike," she said. "I guess there is a childlike innocence about my music or my persona that he always just kind of dialled into. So I guess he thought I should make music for 'Where the Wild Things Are', and I assembled a group of mostly rock musicians to make the music."

She added: "To play on it and it was a really amazing experience and I think what he has accomplished with the film is basically the impossible. There's a lot of stuff that they told me Spike couldn't do that he did it anyway, and it was a really inspiring and exciting thing to be a part of."

'Where The Wild Things Are' is set for release on October 16.
