Oct 2nd: Dust Up Feature Film & Soundtrack Released

Dust Up, a neo-western feature film which features a musical score by Spindrift will be released on October 2^nd. The film, directed byWard Roberts, has been described as “desert-ploitation” and a perfect back-drop for Spindrift’s blend of western-psych and cinematic music. The soundtrack by the band will be released via iTunes, the same day that the movie becomes available via “On Demand” networks.

Spindrift previously worked with Roberts on the music video for “Hellbound,” which serves as the official theme song of Dust Up and premiered on IFC.com. The song originally appeared on Spindrift’s 2011 full-length album Classic Soundtracks, Vol. 1 (Xemu Records). That album featured theme songs that the band had made for various films and trailers (all of which were made into videos with different directors and premiered on IFC.com).

Speaking on the score for Dust Up, Spindrift guitar/vocalist Kirpatrick Thomas says “We were able to record live in the studio to the cues of the film and go through the proper scoring process. Director Ward Roberts sat in with us to convey his ideas for each scene. As a composer, that really helped bring things to the forefront for each different theme in the film. Some of this footage will be seen on the DVD extras.” Another feature film that Spindrift has contributed music for, Treasure of the Black Jaguar (Directed by Mike Bruce), will also be announcing a theatrical date this week slated for early 2013.
