LOLA COLT: CINEMATIC INSPIRINGS PLAYLIST
Described as “one of London’s most exciting live bands” Lola Colt blend dark psych rock and cinematic soundscapes.
The band have compiled us a great playlist for your listening pleasure.
THE MAKEUP AND VANITY SET ~ COLLAPSE
I don’t know much about these but I’ve been following them for a long time. Slow-building synth layers moving in cycles and set against tribal drums – this would make the perfect accompaniment to any J. G. Ballard movie adaptation.
THE BRIAN JONESTOWN MASSACRE ~ YOU LOOK GREAT WHEN I’M FUCKED UP
A Morricone-esque masterpiece with all the suspense and cinematic euphoria you could desire.
NICK CAVE & WARREN ELLIS ~ MARTHA’S DREAM
From the ‘The Proposition’ sound track. The uneasy and unnerving percussive heartbeat, set against the dry, scratchy violin set the menacing mood for the movie perfectly.
BOARDS OF CANADA ~ REACH FOR THE DEAD
This downbeat, almost melancholy track is profoundly beautiful. The lo-fi, breathy sound really takes you away to some higher plane.
THE CITY OF PRAGUE PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA ~ FLIGHT INTO SPACE
John Barry’s masterpiece for the movie Moonraker surely ranks among the best ever written. The build 2:08 never fails to raise the hair on my neck.
SONIC JESUS ~ LOST REPRISE
This song elevates you higher with each pass around it’s 11/4 time signature until you’re almost floating up with the angels.
NILS FRAHM ~ SAYS
Nils creates both electronic and acoustic soundscapes with such effortless craftsmanship that you get this feeling that they’ve existed forever – like they were forged at the dawn of time and he has simply discovered them.
GRAILS ~ SOFT TEMPLE
From the slowly building hypnotic rhythm that creeps through the beginning, though to the chaotic elation of the crescendo, this song does what cinematic music always should – take you on a journey.
The album Twist Through The Fire (CD/Vinyl/Digital) is available from Lola Colt’s imprint Black Tigress Records.
