After a lengthy absence since the release of their debut LP  
'The Shapes We Fear Are Of Our Own', Motion Picture Soundtrack have finally returned with 2nd album 'Iconoclast', self-engineered/produced and mixed entirely by the band under the guidance of top-flight mix engineer Cenzo Townshend. 'Iconoclast' is a progression from the slow-building songs and early grandeur of their previous work and takes a more immediate, driven and cinematic approach.
Motion Picture Soundtrack formed in Canterbury, Kent during the the winter of 2003 after discovering a shared love of film soundtracks and musical histrionics. The band is comprised of vocalist Alastair Blackwood and brother/drummer Graeme Blackwood, guitarist Nick Watts and bassist Will Hasler. Thunderous drums, guitars that come at you like a shower of knives before dissolving into atmospheric textures, thick, driving bass, French horns, full string sections and vocals that swing from urgent call to arms to cold cracked whispers are the order of the day.
Think Arcade Fire and Sigur Rós performing the score to Christopher Nolan's 'Inception'.

Comprised of Alastair Blackwood (vocals), Nick Watts (guitar), Will Hasler (bass) Graeme Blackwood (drums)  and based in Canterbury, Kent - the band make a noise not dissimilar to Arcade Fire and Sigur Rós performing the score to Christopher Nolan's 'Inception'.
