Tex­tur­al and atmos­pher­ic, Ani­mal Collective’s Deakin and Geologist’s orig­i­nal sound­track to the 2025 doc­u­men­tary Jet­ty has just been released by Domi­no Sound­tracks. The sound­track is avail­able dig­i­tal­ly, with a vinyl release set for April 17th. 

Jet­ty is a new non­fic­tion film by Sam Fleis­chn­er (Stand Clear of the Clos­ing Doors, Wah Do Dem and he also has cre­at­ed music videos for Pan­da Bear) that doc­u­ments two years of the decades-long fed­er­al project of installing gran­ite jet­ties to pro­tect the Rock­aways – a coastal neigh­bor­hood of Queens, New York – from the effects of dimin­ish­ing beach­es. The film is shot on Super 16mm, accen­tu­at­ing the tac­til­i­ty of all the ele­ments at play: rocks, sand, met­al, water, and cel­lu­loid. With sub­tle sound design fea­tur­ing a pen­sive, some­times play­ful score by Ani­mal Col­lec­tive, Jet­ty looks with equa­nim­i­ty at human attempts to out-engi­neer nature as it reflects on the way that a sense of place informs our lives.

Jet­ty is avail­able to stream now and will also be screened in Los Ange­les, San Fran­cis­co, and the Hum­boldt Inter­na­tion­al Film Fest this month.
