The Brian Jonestown Massacre's Anton Newcombe has composed a new work which pays homage to the great European film directors of the late 50s and 60s, such as François Truffaut and Jean-Luc Godard for an imaginary French film.
The album, titled ‘Musique de film imaginé’ (music for film imagined), is released on Anton’s a recordings label on April 27.
Lead track 'Philadelphie Story’ features French chanteuse and
multi-instrumentalist SoKo.
Hear it below.
The vocals are entirely in French, with the accompanying sounds of trumpet and synths, making for what is overall a somewhat eerie track.
Of the album, Anton himself says: “The album that you are about to hear is a soundtrack, my own creation, a tribute to great directors and filmmakers to an era that now seems to be behind us. Leaving the smart person to care to imagine that this art could now be in the shadow of its former glory. The interesting thing about this project is that the film does not exist either. Even so, I imagined and I realized its soundtrack... Now it's your turn, you are the listener to imagine the film.”
