Death & Vanilla Live Score of Whistle And I'll Come To You

DEATH AND VANILLA RETURN WITH CULT TV SCORE ‘WHISTLE AND I’LL COME TO YOU’ upstairs at new venue KAMERA above the Lloyd & Platt pub.

Swedish trio Death And Vanilla follow their much-praised re-imagined soundtracks to Vampyr (2017) and The Tenant (2018) with their interpretation of the soundtrack to cult 1968 TV show Whistle And I’ll Come To You out on 23rd May via Fire Records.

“Deploying vintage instruments in their quest for melancholic utopia.” - ELECTRONIC SOUND

The Jonathan Miller-adapted 1968 ghost story was originally part of BBC’s Omnibus series and featured Michael Horden as a fussy professor who discovers an ancient whistle which summons up the spirits. A black and white folkloric tale in the style of The Wicker Man, the original TV programme received rave reviews.

"A masterpiece of economical horror that remains every bit as chilling as the day it was first broadcast" - BFI

Death And Vanilla have produced an esoteric live score recorded at the Hypnos Theatre in Malmö. The 42-minute soundtrack utilises stuttering tape loops on ‘Intro’ before breathing new life into the primitive John Carpenter-like drum machine on ‘Supernatural Breakfast’, while ‘Walk On The Beach 2’ sounds like a hauntological rendition of a Broadcast classic. Indeed, that effect is amplified on ‘Nightmares’, with its swirling wind and other-worldly choral effect, before the feeling of some supernatural presence is suggested on the penultimate cut ‘Evidence Of Spiritualism’.
