Claire Rousay: “iii”
Film scores are not everyone’s cup of tea. If you’re looking for pop ditties, too bad, because film scores (contrast to film soundtracks) tend to be spacier, moodier, more diffuse, more ambient without definitive hooks.
Then again, Claire Rousay has put out plenty of music that checks all of the above boxes. The artist has the “emo ambient” angle, sure, but there’s another more experimental angle that dovetails nicely with the more impressionist qualities of your typical film score.
Enter ‘The Bloody Lady’, an animated film from 1980 by Viktor Kubal. Sounds like a cool project. Check out our highlighted track “iii,” which is an exquisitely descriptive song title. Off the eponymously-titled The Bloody Angel. Via the Belgian label VIERNULVIER Records.
