London-based cellist, composer and producer Oliver Coates releases “The History of Sound,” the original motion picture soundtrack to Oliver Hermanus’s period romance starring Paul Mescal and Josh O’Connor. As well as singing on several tracks, Sam Amidon, a KLOF favourite, was also a music adviser and was tasked with turning the film’s two stars into seasoned balladeers in just three weeks.
The Handover return with “New Old Medicine,” out June 5th via Sublime Frequencies. The Egyptian-rooted trio of Aly Eissa, Ayman Asfour and Jonas Cambien follow their 2024 debut with a second long-form composition, recorded in Berlin by Rabih Beaini. Oud, violin and vintage organ move through one continuous piece into something psychedelic and strange.
