The Bad Batch (2016) – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack 2xLP Vinyl Record (Black & Yellow Coloured Vinyl)

Death Waltz Recording Co., in conjunction with Lakeshore Records, brings you a 2xLP of cuts taken from “The Bad Batch,” the sophomore film from Ana Lily Amirpour. As with Amirpour’s debut film, music is an essential ingredient throughout “The Bad Batch” and it more than lives up to its predecessor’s killer soundtrack. 

This time lines of dialogue from the film are interspersed throughout the songs creating a truly immersive listening experience. The songs themselves run from bona fide pop bangers (Ace of Base and Culture Club), cutting edge techno/electro (Black Light Smoke and Path Du Prince), shimmering electronica (Darkside/Chilled By Nature), through to the classic spaghetti stylings of Death Waltz’s own Federale.

“Amirpour knows how to make something sound and look effortlessly Capital C, Cool; that kind of uber-Velvet Underground-y cool that intimidates regular civilians who wouldn’t dare roll up in that club. Electronic artists like Black Light Smoke, Pantha Du Prince provide the pulsating sick beats that propel her narratives (Francis Harris, Chilled By Nature deliver quirkier EDM), and groups like White Lies and Federale offer soaring, moody and entrancing post-punky artrock that sweeps and elevated. Perhaps unsurprisingly she’s not above ironic musical gags either, using Culture Club’s “Karma Chameleon” and Ace Of Base to great effect. “Bad Batch” might be uneven, if memorable and beguiling, but its group of tracks is a bumper crop.” The Playlist – Best soundtracks of 2017

Pressed on Black and Yellow Vinyl, this release is complete with a die-cut outer jacket, a black gatefold inner jacket featuring UV spot varnish and liner notes from Director Ana Lily Amirpour.
