“Why prowl around and make a spectacle of yourself when you can lay in wait under some darkened bridge and swill whiskey like a troll full of hate until your victim appears?” That’s the Dead Weather’s Alison Mosshart in this cinematic spoken word piece she made with UK-based composer James Spankie.
The pair collaborated on “Electricity” after Spankie was asked to write the soundtrack to a few short films by Supersweet Magazine’s Eleanor Harvey. As he writes on his blog:
Before long I had sound files with people like Alison Mosshart (one of my favorite singers), Tom Bellamy from Cooper Temple Clause, Pity Party, Finn from White Rose Movement, my favorite Polar Map song and a few others sitting on my computer.
