Johnny Flynn

A Bag Of Hammers OST

10 brand new tracks from Johnny Flynn, will be released as a limited edition vinyl

‘A Bag of Hammers’ is the soundtrack from the yet to be released American film of the same name directed by Brian Crano, and staring Rebecca Hall, Jason Ritter, Jake Sandvig and Amanda Seyfried.

A Bag of Hammers' is further proof of Flynn's understanding of the American Songbook. He gives us a Mexican-tinged setting of the pastoral English song 'Linden Lea'; as a whole, he has placed himself close-to-the-border, musically, to embody the geography of the film which is drenched in the low sun of suburban LA.

Within the 5 or 6 songs there is huge diversity: from the slow ecstasy of 'I am Light' where Flynn finds a new sound, that is at the same time unmistakably his, to 'Where my Father Went' or 'Flowers in my Garden' which would stand tall alongside the best of his previous work. Between the 'songs' are palette cleansing instrumentals - again, beautifully arranged pieces in their own right.
