Dust down your
ponchos! Time for some spoof spaghetti western soundtracks with a
dose of heavy west coast psych.
Somehow the music you
hear in your childhood stays with you all your life, so if you spent
your early years glued to the TV showing Sergio Leone spaghetti
western re-runs, those wonderful soundtracks by the likes of Ennio
Morricone are going to have an effect on the music you make as an
adult. And so it is with Kirpatrick Thomas, front man with Los
Angeles band Spindrift, self-proclaimed leaders of the neo-cosmic
cowboy revolution.
So what we have here is
a concept album of sorts, songs and instrumental pieces taken from
movie soundtracks that don't (though possibly should) exist. The song
titles are evocative in themselves; “Japexico (Flute Theme From
Treasure Of The Black Jaguar)”, “Legend Of The Widower Colby
Wallace”, “Showdown (From The Legend Of God's Gun)” and so on.
