Copenhagen Cowboy

I watched Nicolas Winding Refn's "Copenhagen Cowboy" last night, and true to form, the series is not going to be for everybody.  Also true to form is how mesmerized i was by the whole affair: the slow pacing, the long bouts of silence, the neon lighting, and of course the synth heavy score.  No word on a vinyl release yet, but the soundtrack from Cliff Martinez, Peter Peter, and Julian Winding is streaming now.  Check that out here and listen to "I Promise" below.

Too Old To Die Young

Anyone out there watching Nicolas Winding Refn's "Too Old To Die Young" series on Amazon Prime?  I'm two episodes in, and it's very good, but also very, very much a Nicolas Winding Refn kind of thing with plenty of silent protagonists, long pauses, neon noir, bursts of violence, and doses of toxic masculinity.  Your mileage on that may very, but i love it.  Anyway, true to form, Refn has again hooked up with Cliff Martinez to provide the score, a mix of brooding synths, classic Hollywood homage, and pulsing dread.  Listen to "Naked Guy Murder" below and get the soundtrack from Milan.

The Neon Demon

"The Neon Demon," the upcoming new film by Nicolas Winding Refn is one of the movies i'm very excited about this summer, though who knows when i'll get to see it (2 kids and all).  Meanwhile, regular Refn collaborator Cliff Martinez provided the synthy, moody score, and it's out next month on Milan Records.  Check out the opening "Neon Demon" below.

Only God Forgives

Though some of the reviews i've read for Nicolas Winding Refn's upcoming new film "Only God Forgives," re-teaming with "Drive" star Ryan Gosling, i'm still pretty excited to see it.  Part of that could be because Cliff Martinez is back to do the score.  Listen to "Wanna Fight" below.
