61. BEAK> - COUPLE IN A HOLE - (OST) - (2016)

What a fucking day of up-in-the-air feeling as so much was achieved but not in an empowering way at all. Feel like I am shapeshifting, when all I want to do is be mellow and sink into one thing - not just pam pam pam all over for different people. If there was ever a soundtrack for pam pam pam'ing all over for different people, then this it. Oh, and it's actually a soundtrack for a real film too.

I haven't even seen Couple In A Hole, but I might as well give it a whirl; I like the concept of imaginary soundtracks anyway - for example David Holmes' Bow Down To The Exit Sign  came in at #14 in my list last decade.  Imagining a movie scene to the tracks themselves add a filmic layer that wouldn't be there otherwise, just gotta do a bit of make-belief aintcha. Ok then, this soundtrack: it's drone, it's motorik, it's seismic, it's subliminal - and it might just get me through my F___ working week.

Albums of 2016 - 44. BEAK> - COUPLE IN A HOLE (OST)

44. BEAK> - COUPLE IN A HOLE (OST)

A British film soundtrack. Think sparse synths. Motorik drums. Krautrock. Autobanhs. Music to both shake off and bring on hedonism. It's kinetic. It's gut. It's vital. I'm in a murky, neutral mood tonight and this soundtrack  perfectly accompanies that.

As mentioned before in a previous years post, it's not as if the 44st entry on a list is better than the 45th, I do listen to the album in question as I write; that being with a rough idea of what kind of positioning in will have. The top 10 however require much more careful scrutiny.

Beak> are ones to watch, with an ex-member of Portishead thrown in there, their discography is only a few albums deep and I look forward to hearing how this band go about developing their sound. Sometimes murky and neutral is just fine.
