Episode #115: Bastien Keb

An ode to Giallo, '70s crime flicks and French new wave cinema; Bastien Keb’s third album, The Killing of Eugene Peeps, is an imagined score of downbeat anti-ballads, cinematic instrumentals, psychedelic-folk and warped soliloquies. Set for an October 9 release via Gearbox Records, the album was oiginally made in three parts: film score, soundtrack and incidental music. The record develops in a dream like state, a narrator periodically guiding the listener between songs of longing and regret. We spoke with Bastien Keb about his cinematic influences, and the making of the new album.
