'End Titles... Stories For Film' is a collection of recordings, each inspired by the cinematic image, recorded over a period of two years by Unkle & various collaborators.
Never prepared to stagnate or run out of fresh ideas, Unkle have teamed up with some of today's most exciting & cutting edge acts on 'End Titles... Stories for Film'.
Taking in the talents of Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age); Black Mountain; Gavin Clark; Joel Cadbury (South); James Petralli from White Denim; Chris Goss (Masters of Reality / Queen of the Stone Age / Soulwax); and many more, this is a bursting collaborative opus, filled from beginning to end with challenging works that may not otherwise fit onto a regular Unkle album. In James Lavelle's words: "It's not a new album in the usual sense, but new music that has been inspired by the moving image."
Refusing to be shackled to any single genre or style, James found the compiling of 'End Titles... Stories for Film' to be a challenging artistic endeavor in its own right, not to mention a liberating experience.
Again, in James's words: "It covers a much wider range of influences than an album like 'War Stories', which has a particular focus. There is room for everything in this kind of collection, from classical all the way to beat-driven instrumentals and electronic rock."
Turning bold beatscapes & epic rock structures into musical mise-en-scène, 'End Titles... Stories for Film' is an immensely powerful ode to the movie medium, which is a must for Unkle fans, cinema buffs, and lovers of great music alike.
