John Parish

Screenplay


In the music world a soundtrack is a fickle enterprise. Is it somehow diminished if listened to on its own? Does it only serve to underscore the images on the screen? In the case of John Parish's "Screenplay" the answer to both is a resounding no. Yet "Screenplay" isn't a typical soundtrack as its material is culled from several films and sequenced to create a coherent and seamless album. Parish, a cohort and collaborator with PJ Harvey along with many other like-minded bands, has a terrific ear for mood and melody and that is a common link despite the vast ground that the album covers, from tactile electronic abstraction on "Katja Gives Birth" and the regal, string-imbued "Longfellow" to the distorted Krautrock-isms of "L'Efant D'en Haut." Splendidly recorded with a grit and humanity all its own, "Screenplay" eclipses many other formats to become a thoroughly enriching full-length.

CD version is packaged in a 4 panel mini-LP style gatefold package with a 4 page booklet.

Deluxe 2LP version includes eight tracks not on the CD version and is pressed on high quality virgin vinyl packaged in a gatefold jacket. A coupon for a free download of the music with a digital booklet is included.
