oki-ni presents: SOUNDTRACKED by Still Corners

London four-piece Still Corners certainly have something of the cinematic about them. Beyond their enchanting sound, built around the whispered vocals of Tessa Murray, it was a chance meeting at a station between Tessa and songwriter Greg Hughes – a scene that plays like something out of David Lean’s Brief Encounter – that brought the band together. Proud film nerds, Greg and the band look to evoke cinematic moods with their music and their stunning debut album, Creatures of an Hour, is a glorious testament to this. Therefore, when we asked them to put together a mix for us the choice was obvious. Their mix, SOUNDTRACKED, splices together evocative themes from Italian horror movies, David Lynch’s Twin Peaks, and Dirty Harry into one dark and moody feature-length mix, as the band explains:
“All these pieces have either directly or indirectly inspired the music on Creatures of an Hour. Some is quite dark and some is silly, but all evoke a similar feel with fantastic imagery.”
Creatures of an Hour is out now on Sub Pop.
