Magenta Coloured Vinyl with Download. Following on from the deluxe reissue Vampyr last year, comes Death And Vanilla’s unreleased live score of The Tenant. Originally scored by Philippe Sarde, this release sees Death And Vanilla re-imagine the film’s soundtrack four decades on for a new audience. The haunting instrumental is a foreboding piece of dark and cinematic avant-garde music that’s alienated, lonely and melancholic. Moments of hallucination and delusion mirror the lead character Trelovsky. Recorded in 2015 at Cinema score festival in Spain alongside a two-hour performance and screening of psychological thriller The Tenant (1976). With the band at their most minimal, the accomplished musicians once again bring the dark narrative to life with their expansive and ethereal noir sound. The recording features them as a trio – Marleen Nilsson (Farfisa Compact), Anders Hansson (Hagstrom Kent, Roland SP-404 and Technics SL-1200) and Magnus Bodin (Moog Prodigyand Musser M55). Directed by Polish filmmaker Roman Polanski and based on the novel Le Locataire by Roland Topor, The Tenant is the finale in his acclaimed apartment triology which included Repulsion (1965) and Rosemary’s Baby (1968).
