Jose Gonzalez- "Step Out" (from The Secret Life of Walter Mitty soundtrack)

I'm such a sucker for big climactic soaring songs like this one. But I love it even more knowing that it comes from the usually hush and mellow Jose Gonzalez. "Step Out" appears on the soundtrack for the upcoming Ben Stiller film, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.
Watch the trailer for the movie HERE.

The José González led project, Junip will be releasing their sophomore album this April 23 via Mute, and they just unveiled the first single, "Line of Fire” which is available as a free download on their soundcloud page.
