It should come as no surprise to learn that he did it again, but nonetheless Anton Newcombe left me stunned with this release. Dreamlike shoegazer psych dirges and melancholic whispers mesh seamlessly into soul an imaginary movie, what you get when high-brow psych musician indulge his deepest love for directors, pulp far-french fetish movies.
This one is like a mystery to me, but it’s like a damn fine ghostly psych rock mystery, and one that I do not mind listening over and over again, but that’s where my vast well filled with information runs dry, and I left you to just revel in these tunes.
“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.”
