M83 (aka Anthony Gonzalez) has announced a new soundtrack for the film Knife + Heart and shared its first song, the instrumental track “Karl.” The soundtrack is due out digitally tomorrow via Mute. Knife + Heart was directed by Gonzalez’s brother, Yann Gonzalez, and premiered at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival. The album finds Anthony Gonzalez collaborating with original M83 member Nicolas Fromageau for the first time since M83’s first two full-length releases, 2001’s self-titled studio and 2003’s Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts. Since then it’s been a solo project for Gonzalez, aided by various guest collaborators and live band members over the years. Check out “Karl” below, followed by the soundtrack’s tracklist and cover art, as well a list of screenings for the film and the movie’s trailer.
A press release describes the film this way: “Knife + Heart is a noir-tinged erotic slasher that explores the seedy underbelly of Paris in the 1970s. Vanessa Paradis stars as Anne, the producer of third-rate gay pornography who strives to win back the affections of Lois - her editor and erstwhile lover - by shooting her most ambitious film yet. But events take a violent and dark turn when one after another, Anne’s actors fall prey to a masked killer whose bloodlust knows no bounds.”
Yann Gonzalez had this to say about the soundtrack: “We wanted to recapture the Gialli ambiance of the ‘70s, to feel that sinister yet sentimental tone. Anthony and I
are both poetical and even sentimental, in a certain way. We wanted to dive in headlong,
particularly as melancholy and poetry are found in numerous ‘70s horror film soundtracks, from films by Lucio Fulci to those by Mario Bava. I’m thinking in particular of the harrowing soundtracks of Don’t Torture a Duckling or Twitch of the Death Nerve.”
Yann Gonzalez adds: “This principle of pleasure came rushing back. I got Anthony to listen to some old soundtracks from straight and gay porn films. He quickly gathered the musical codes and finally, the most beautiful tracks in Knife + Heart - the most pleasurable ones - are probably the ones he recreated for the film’s fake porn movies.”
M83 previously did the soundtrack for Yann Gonzalez’s debut full-length feature, 2013’s You and the Night.
M83’s last album, Junk, was our fourth favorite album of 2016. We posted two reviews of Junk, one mixed and one rave. Also read our 2016 in-depth cover story on M83.
