Gruff Rhys by Ryan Owen Eddleston
Gruff Rhys has soundtracked the film which stars Charlotte Gainsbourg, Rebel Wilson and Celyn Jones.
Gruff Rhys has shared two more tracks from his The Almond & The Seahorse soundtrack album ahead of its release on February 24th.
“I Want My Old Life Back is featured in a tense domestic scene in the film as the character’s lives have been turned upside down by the trauma of injury,” Rhys said.
“I actually wrote the song after my van got nearly totalled in early 2020 during a flash flood on the A1 at 3am after a gig.”
“I was stranded in a pub for three days as I waited for it to be fixed, like my own personal lockdown a few weeks before the big one when the song seemed to make even more sense.”
“I recorded Liberate Me From The Love Song at Kris Jenkins studio Wings For Jesus in Cardiff, with some keyboards and drum machines.”
“I made some more refined versions that were used in the film but this early rough version captures the song better.”
“The song itself is the result of listening to too much (or not enough) Outlaw Country music but doesn’t really sound like it.”
