The Russian musician known as Movie
Theater has released his latest full-length album, “Love Letter.”
It contains five tracks for an approximate total listening time of 40
minutes. The record has been proudly published on the Movie Theater
independent record label without the influence of the corporate music
industry. Touching, evocative and entirely instrumental, “Love
Letter” from Movie Theater is a progressive-rock album with the
heart of a lover and the soul of a composer.
Movie Theater cites as main artistic
inspirations Pink Floyd, Mono, and Explosions in the Sky, though the
overarching theme of “Love Letter” is arguably more important to
the album's resulting sound. With tracks titled “Anger,”
“Sadness,” “Fear,” “Regret” and “Love,” the LP is a
literal working through of psychologist John Gray's “Feeling
Letter” technique.
This may not sound like a typical
source of rock, but the power of “Love Letter” by Movie Theater
is undeniable. It climbs and dives, soars and charges. It pummels
with rapid strikes and at times feels like being belted in the gut.
The record is one of the most visceral rock compositions in recent
memory. That it comes from the feelings and sonic creativity of a
single artist in rural Russia is testament to the human capacity to
feel, as well as to Movie Theater's particularly remarkable scope of
emotional perception.
Asked to comment on his goals for “Love
Letter,” Movie Theater writes, “I put love and a part of my soul
into each of my records.”
Movie Theater is not the artist's only
music project and it is far from his only release. To date, he has
published three records under the moniker, et_, and one as VYVCH.
Additionally, “Love Letter” is preceded by his “Evil Twin”
LP, which appeared in 2013 from 'The' Movie Theater.
Also adding unique spice to an already
very unique album is Movie Theater's knack for using unusual and
self-made percussion instruments, as well as instruments made for
children and other innovative implements which help to make his songs
so full of his character.
“Love Letter” from Movie Theater is
available online worldwide. Get in early, fans of progressive and
alternative rock. This one hits hard.
