Rock band Phoenix have written the soundtrack for director Sofia Coppola's next film.

According to MTV, the Grammy Award-winning band are scoring Coppola's upcoming movie Somewhere.

"[Coppola] asked us to do some music, very in the spirit of [the single] 'Love Like a Sunset,' so we tried to put that track and elements of the track in the movie, and it worked well," Phoenix guitarist Christian Mazzalai said.

He added: "And then we wrote very small pieces of music, very minimal music for the movie too... We're very proud of it."

Somewhere features Stephen Dorff as a "bad boy actor" who gets an unexpected visit from his 11-year-old daughter.

Coppola is the girlfriend of Phoenix frontman Thomas Mars.
