More Info

PHILIPPE PETIT wurde bekannt als Remixer von bekannten experimentellen & elektronischen Acts, JAMES JOHNSTON ist der Sänger von GALLON DRUNK, beide verbindet die Liebe für Soundtrack-artige, rauhe dark ambiente Klänge, die hier in Verbindung mit röhrenden Gitarren für Entzückung sorgen..

" 'Fiends With A Face' is the first collaborative work from James Johnston and Philippe Petit. As the titles suggest it is an hommage to the golden era of horror movies. Our two fiends wanted conjure up blood-curdling and haunting soundscapes, playing with unsettling ambiances in order to create a contemporary soundtrack for those who like to be frightened.
Philippe Petit is interested in soundtracks, even if he creates original music he'd rather be introduced as a "musical travel agent" than a composer. His first solo album "Henry: The Iron Man" originated from a dream that Shinya Tsukamoto was working on a blurred remake of "Eraserhead", and he was to soundtrack the grotesque mutation of Henry into an "Iron Man". It is now released on Beta Lactam Ring Records.
James Johnston is the singer, multi-instrumentalist, and founding member of influential UK band Gallon Drunk, the group's last studio album The Rotten Mile being released in 2007. He also plays with Krautrock legends Faust, and has recorded and toured with a variety of other musicians such as Barry Adamson, Dot Allison, 2nd Gen, Ulan Bator, Lydia Lunch, and a member of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds from 2003-2008, (originally touring with the band in 1994). The CD will come packaged in a beautiful full colour gatefold sleeve with a printed inner sleeve and is limited in this format to 1000 copies." [label info]
