2007, Too Pure
Tim 'Stereolab' Gane & Sean 'The High Llamas' O'Hagan team up to compose and record a film soundtrack that combines the best of their own oeuvres. A 2CD set featuring bonus material. Tim Gane and Sean O'Hagan (respectively of Stereolab and High Llamas fame) put their heads together to pen the music for a new French comedy La Vie d'Artiste, which will be screened in France this September, with a release elsewhere following not long after. The film itself follows the life of three separate artists - lives which inadvertently affect one another: a singer wishes to break free from her days of waitressing, a teacher strives to be a writer (finally driven to stealing the work of a pupil) and a would-be Broadway actress feels frustrated in her cartoon voiceover day job. The soundtrack, a humble touch of everything we ever loved about Stereolab, gracefully reflects the cast as they each strive to create their own destinies.
