The Foreign Films - Fall Of The Summer Heart
The Foreign Films - Fall Of The Summer Heart |
I haven't finished listening to
this single yet but I can tell you that, musically speaking, there are more original
ideas in the first thirty seconds of this song than the combined efforts of
Will.I.Am and Olly Murs. Not saying a huge amount, I know, but food for thought
nonetheless. The Foreign Films are driven by the husky voiced Bill Majoros who
is something of a Prog Rock Indie Folk version of James Murphy, if that makes sense.
'The Fall Of The Summer Heart' is a twelve minute opus that takes on most song
based genres and channels the likes of the Beach Boys, the Flaming Lips, Cast, LCD
Soundsystem and ELO. The song is split in to eight sections or movements that
take you on an undulating but seamless which is made impressive when you learn
that this song took a year to record. I must also make mention of the artwork
for this track which is an area so sadly neglected in our digital age - whoever
did the artwork has a beautiful if slightly melancholic mind but this is the
perfect match for such a rich audio tapestry.
