PRE-ORDER: Felicia Atkinson "Sans Visage" LP

Director Georges Franju’s horror classic ‘Eyes Without A Face’ from 1960 is a hauntingly beautiful film that since its initial release – mired in controversy – has earned a rightful place in cinematic history. A black and white fairytale that deftly balances between fantasy and realism, clinical detachment and intense emotion, beauty and pain it is – once seen –impossible to forget. For the 2024 edition of the annual Videodroom film festival in Ghent, composer and visual artist Félicia Atkinson wrote and performed a brand new score for the film.Sans Visage brings her sparse piano and glacial electronics to the front, a lovingly constructed hommage to the film that underlines the still devastatingly current themes it so brazenly explored.LP includes a 12-page booklet with liner notes by writer and musician Claire Cronin on Eyes Without A Face and additional artwork by illustrator and experimental comic artist Momo Gordon.
