Paul Weller 'Jawbone (Music From The Film)'
Available
on Vinyl LP + CD Album
March 10 sees Paul Weller release his first ever soundtrack, to the
forthcoming British movie, Jawbone. 'Jawbone: Music From The Film' is a
collection quite unlike anything else from Paul Weller's extensive discography
as you can hear on the album's sprawling 21-minute opener 'Jimmy / Blackout', an
experimental sound collage which provides much of the film's score and
underlying mood.
'Jimmy / Blackout' segues across a variety of different and often dissonant
tones, its eclectic tapestry of sounds flourishes and fractures with choral
vocal harmonies, bursts of droning guitar and the swirl of vintage synthesisers,
but on track 2, 'The Ballad of Jimmy McCabe', we find Paul in more familiar
territory with a beautiful acoustic song, which reflects the situation and
emotional turmoil that's troubling Johnny Harris's lead
character.
