SARAH MCGUINNESS
Believe: The Eddie Izzard Story
22nd November
The soundtrack, like the film, spans half a century of musical genres, including 60s radio jingles, glam-rock, disco, 80s synth-pop and electronica. The film’s theme tune, ‘Mama Can You See Me Now’, is cleverly tweaked and remodelled throughout the film to reflect these different genres. Perhaps the most notable of these is the glam-rock style 70s version, which begins and ends the movie as Eddie walks on stage for the final show. This is one the gays will love.
BRONTOSAURUS CHORUS
Owls
13th December
Following their online onslaught last year, Brontosaurus Chorus are releasing their debut album Owls. Their mixture of embittered lyrical musing and sugar-coated pop folk has become synonymous with this multi-layered London octet. This album charts and celebrates the enchanting and haunting phenomenon of life and death in all its guises. With their undeniable charm and effortless ease they have concocted something quite brilliant, with no aftertaste of guilt or rot. This is a zesty and bubbly musical sweet that you can’t stop sucking.
