Limited magenta colored vinyl LP pressing. Following on from the deluxe reissue Vampyr last year, comes Death And Vanilla's unreleased live score of The Tenant. Originally scored by Philippe Sarde, this release sees Death And Vanilla re-imagine the film's soundtrack four decades on for a new audience. The haunting instrumental is a foreboding piece of dark and cinematic avant-garde music that's alienated, lonely and melancholic. Moments of hallucination and delusion mirror the lead character Trelovsky. Recorded in 2015 at Cinemascore festival in Spain alongside a two-hour performance and screening of psychological thriller The Tenant (1976). With the band at their most minimal, the accomplished musicians once again bring the dark narrative to life with their expansive and ethereal noir sound. A zombie wearing a Nazi SS uniform terrorizes the French countryside. Meanwhile, some really weird shit is happening, involving a possessed horse, a pirate boat and a couple of car drivers desperately fighting the evil tearing the land to pieces. No plot needed for the madness to begin, as this movie is filled with the insanity guaranteed to give you psychedelic dreams.
