Death And Vanilla
Release ‘The Tenant’
Out 2nd February 2018 
Limited Edition Magenta LP / CD

Pre-order link: https://deathandvanillamusic.bandcamp.com/

Following on from the deluxe reissue ‘Vampyr’ last year, comes Death And Vanilla’s unreleased live score of ‘The Tenant’ on limited edition magenta vinyl.

Originally scored by Philippe Sarde, this release sees Death And Vanilla reimagine 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. The recording features them as a trio - Marleen Nilsson (Farfisa Compact), Anders Hansson (Hagstrom Kent, Roland SP-404 and Technics SL-1200) and Magnus Bodin (Moog Prodigy and Musser M55).

Directed by Polish filmmaker Roman Polanski and based on the novel Le Locataire by Roland Topor, ‘The Tenant’ is the finale in his acclaimed apartment triology which included “Repulsion” (1965) and “Rosemary’s Baby” (1968).

Out today the new evocative second single, ‘The Archer’, from Faten Kanaan's new album ‘A Mythology of Circles’ (mastered by Heba Kadry) released on November 13. A transcendent composition with swathes of shimmering electronics overdubbed in real time, it’s beguiling and majestic. Double AA side includes the equally hypnotising companion piece, ‘Hesperides’.

The new album explores cyclical repetitions in nature and time, and the allegories about them. These re-conjured stories are an attempt to temper the anthropocentric hubris. Reminders to revere nature without the need to overpower it. To embrace ‘mystery’ in our feats of discovery and innovation. The album also has an autobiographical side: a story of movement, migration, and return. Of renewing hope in the face of political and environmental struggles.

Inspired by cinematic forms and mythological story structures: from sweeping landscapes and quiet romances, to patterned tensions and dream sequences; Faten brings an earthy, visceral touch to electronic music. In symbiosis with technology is an appreciation for the vulnerability of human limitations and nuances.

‘A Mythology of Circles’ will be available on limited edition coloured vinyl via Dinked along with LP and CD on 13th November.

Faten Kanaan - The Archer

Undo Me
And the futures I hold
This rhythm I should know, my storie's told
Dismantel the prose, untethered and exposed
Just leave it a blank space
Close the door

Make it unclear, make it vulnerable
I'd like to hear the birds
Or whatever grammar the world kept from me
Don't spell it I suppose
Don't lower, don't oppose

What are the odds
I missed the score
I'm the tree's branches and open core
Untangle me
Drill through the floor
Spread the news that I'm out for a stroll
And won't come back

Walk past me
Turn around
We're crossing a red line
We've left the track
Defy the percentage
All bodies at the edge of merging inside me
Half this, half that

You made your way
Now wreck it all
Don't leave a single tower standing
Put on display
One last call
Then destroy the neighboor's house, wall to wall
